The music producer approached the Argentine driver when he had no financial support, attracted important sponsors and his campaign was able to continue in Europe. This Sunday he makes his debut in the top category at Monza.
In one of the most complicated moments of Franco Colapinto, Bizarrap appeared in his life. The Argentine driver saw his career languish due to a lack of financial support, something of vital importance to be able to stay in motorsport. Without support, Franco suffered after closing his 2023 season in Formula 3, after not meeting the goal he had set himself of finishing in the top three of the tournament. Fourth place was not enough, the coffers were low and the future was dark. But almost out of nowhere, a ray of hope appeared in the form of a successful music producer.

During the Formula 2 race in Barcelona, Biza went to see Franco in action.It was the return of the Duki and Bizarrap recital that the pilot enjoyed at the Bernabéu. And everything ended with a hug after Colapinto’s great second place with the MP car. There, the musician told how the relationship between the two began.
“I know Pierre Gasly from this environment. But one day my dad sent me a note saying that Colapinto needed sponsors and I called him. We didn’t know each other or anything, I called him and asked him how I could help him. “I’ll put you in touch with people, I don’t know,” I told him. And Martín from Globant listened to me, who was the first to appear, along with YPF. And then other sponsors. Franquito is a great one,” he said.
Precisely the support of Globant, the Argentine unicorn company dedicated to software engineering (is a F1 service provider) would have been one of the main contributors for Colapinto’s landing in the FW46 and contesting the last nine races of the 2024 F1 season with Williams.
“I always thank him because thanks to him I am here, beyond my managers and sponsors. Biza, without knowing me, started writing to me and helping me. He is number one in music and I want to be number one in management,” said the driver on that Catalan day. Now he will try to prove it in none other than an F1.
