Franco Colapinto responds to Jorge Martin's emotional MotoGP post with 3 words

Alpine racer Franco Colapinto gave three-word reaction to reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Martin's emotional social media post. The Spanish racer is gradually making his comeback on the two wheels after a nasty injury at the Czech Grand Prix in July saw him miss a couple of races.

The reigning world champion had a bad start to the 2025 season as he had to sit out the first three races owing to wrist injury and returned to the track Qatar. However, in Lusail, the situation damaged after he had a dangerous accident during the race, which caused damage to his ribs and a pneumothorax.

During the recently finished Hugarian Grand Orix, which was only his third race back in MotoGP, Martin secured an amazing P4 after beginning the race from P16. On his official Instagram handle, the Aprilla racer was emotional about his result and wrote:

"Hard work pays off! 💪 This one is for you team! 🙌 Thanks for giving me all you have to make me feel Martinator again! From P16 ➡️ P4… that’s crazyyy! 🔥"

Martin's post attracted a number of responses, consisting one from Franco Colapinto, who in the comments section gave a three-word reaction, saying:

The Argentine racer has had a tough 2025 campaign on the grid as he has struggled to match the pace of his teammate, Pierre Gasly, after getting into the A525 mid-season, replacing Jack Doohan.

Fernando Alonso gives advice to Franco Colapinto

Aston Martin racer Fernando Alonso said that he believed that Franco Colapinto needed to focus on controlling his frustration and following the basics of F1.

Speaking with Motorsportweek, the two-time F1 world Champion reflected and said:

"I don’t think that it’s a bad place to work and to try to get better every day. There’s not really any advice. We all have different ways of driving, different driving techniques, different ways of delivering the job. We are all enjoying our time here. It’s true that we all want to win.

"If you get to Formula 1, it’s because in your past you had opportunities to win, in the junior formulas, and then you had the opportunity to get to F1. And when you get here, there’s only one guy winning, normally for five or six years in a row because they are dominating. So, this is the only thing you have to manage — you have to control that frustration. You need to still deliver 100% knowing that you will not win.”

Franco Cola Pinto was brought out of his contract with Williams F1 by Alpine at the start of the 2025 season after he impressed everyone in the sport with his short stint with the former last year.
