Montoya compared Franco's attitude to that of Max Verstappen: drivers who, when they see an opportunity, try to take advantage of it. For him, that aggressiveness also means accepting that mistakes will sometimes be made. “When you are always the guy, like Max, who sees an opportunity to take advantage of it, you are going to make mistakes,” he explained. Montoya made it clear that the accident was Franco's responsibility, but he positively valued that he tried to advance. (translated)

The only thing we ask of our beautiful community on a day like this: refrain from posting hate comments on the accounts of the pilots and their families 🙏🏻 We already know that there will be people who will continue to do it, but let's do our part. Now let's disconnect and think about Malaysia. 💪🏻 (translated)

What a poor and disrespectful thing to say so casually (especially being the reigning champion) about Colapinto: "Drivers like this shouldn't be in F1." I won't even get into Franco's merits, his lack of DNFs, etc... It's a total disrespect and, directly or indirectly, it carries hatred towards another driver. (translated)

Colapinto on Briatore's warning: "I would have fewer media activities if that were the case," Franco responded with a laugh when asked about the possibility of Briatore limiting his interviews with the Argentine press if the attacks on social media continue. Then he became serious: "I think it's something that nobody wants." Colapinto stated that everyone must work to improve this situation within the sport and called for supporters' backing to help push the team forward. (translated)

I add something and I leave. It annoys me that they say "because of Colapinto's fans, or oh, it's that the community of..." NO, someone who overrides what Franco himself says is NOT HIS FAN, nor someone who supports him in the slightest. They are pointing in the wrong direction and we are all falling... (translated)

I'm going to step out of the target role because of the anger I have with everything that is happening… It's incredible how they twist everything, making it seem like we are the only villains in the movie. But I'm also fed up that EVEN FRANCO tells them not to do something and THEY GO AND DO IT! Resolution to this? We end up harmed. (translated)
