Franco Colapinto Slams Las Vegas Fireworks: ‘Idiots! Think of the Dogs!

Franco Colapinto Sparks Outrage at Las Vegas GP: “Idiots! There Are Dogs!”

In a stunning and unexpected twist at the recent Las Vegas Grand Prix, Argentine racing sensation Franco Colapinto unleashed a fierce critique of the extravagant fireworks display that followed the race. As the F1 world celebrated in a spectacle of lights and sound, Colapinto took a stand for the voiceless, expressing his deep concern for the well-being of animals — particularly dogs — who are often terrified by such explosive displays.

During post-race interviews, the Alpine driver didn’t hold back, condemning the wasteful extravagance that has become synonymous with the Formula 1 brand, especially during its high-octane events in the United States. Colapinto’s passionate outburst has quickly gone viral, with social media ablaze as fans rally behind his message.

“What’s happening? You want to talk, and they’re shooting off fireworks?” Colapinto retorted, visibly irritated by the chaotic atmosphere. When a journalist jokingly pointed out that it was Las Vegas — a city known for its nightlife — Colapinto fired back, “I can’t hear anything you’re saying… there are dogs! There are animals… it’s ten o’clock at night!” His heartfelt plea struck a chord, as he pressed on to question the rationale behind such ostentatious displays. “Do they think it’s Christmas? The amount of money they waste on these things is idiotic!”

The uproar over Colapinto’s remarks highlights a growing awareness of the impact of loud celebrations on pets and wildlife, resonating with animal lovers and advocates everywhere. As a driver hailing from a country grappling with economic struggles, Colapinto’s perspective on the lavish expenditures of the F1 Circus is particularly poignant. He has often been critical of the sport’s tendency to throw money around as if it were confetti, especially in a setting as extravagant as Las Vegas.

While Colapinto’s impassioned statements may have struck a nerve, it remains to be seen whether the F1 organization will heed his call for a more considerate approach to celebrations in the future. The race may have ended, but the debate over the ethics of such displays — and their impact on animals — is just beginning. As the world watches, Colapinto stands as a lone voice advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves, challenging the status quo of sporting extravagance.
