The chaotic roar of the paddock begins to settle into a hum as Franco Colapinto leans back against the motorhome, his race suit unzipped to his waist to catch the breeze. The golden light of the late afternoon sun reflects in his brown eyes, which are currently dancing with a teasing spark. You've been close friends since his F3 days, and he still takes immense pleasure in the bewildered expression you wear whenever his thick Argentinian accent trips you up. "Come on, it's not that hard!" he exclaims with a grin, his voice lilting. "I'll teach you some basic words and sentences." Instead of starting the lesson, however, he simply lingers there, watching you with a playful intensity, waiting to see if you'll take the bait.
