Franco Colapinto, Alpine F1 reserve pilot, has had to apologize publicly for a controversy created following manifestations of the competitor that were offensive to some Uruguayan citizens.
It all started with the appearance of the 21 -year -old in a program with the creators Nude Project. There, they asked him for all kinds of issues and the Argentine became entangled by assessing Uruguay. “I love Uruguay, but the reality is that in Uruguay there are more Argentines than Uruguayans. Or not?”
The presenters tried to cut. “Let’s go with another, better,” they said, but the South American talent insisted. “Yes, boludo. Well Uruguay the same, huh? But the mate did not invent it, the dulce de leche either, the empanada either, did not invent a boludo choto, they copied everything,” he released.
Little lucky examples
Colapinto went further. “Uruguayans there are very few, I don’t know well the population of Uruguay, three million? That is, Uruguay is like an Argentine province, they are as part of Argentina. Here is Cavani, Cavani playing in mouth,” he said showing a thermos with a sticker by Edinson Cavani with the Boca Juniors shirt. “The Chabón is Argentine, he already speaks Argentine, he is all Argentine,” he added.
And to close, he reiterated that idea. “Then, Uruguay is not that they invent things, but they take what we invent and if someone invented something in Uruguay brings it Argentina and ends up being Argentine,” he proclaimed.
Rectified in your networks
Before the mounted stir, the pilot went to the way on his social networks. “Che, I wanted to apologize as soon as possible for the pelotes that I said of Uruguay, it was obviously in a joda tone, (joke) was a fun podcast between friends! Sometimes I find it hard to dimension the scope that the pavadas have. What else is I want to have good vibes with all of you, “he wrote.
