The Argentine Alpine driver took advantage of the Formula 1 break to relax in the Buenos Aires locality, where he was seen mingling with the locals and featured in snapshots that quickly went viral.

Franco Colapinto is spending his last days of rest in Argentina before returning to the demanding Formula 1 routine and chose an unexpected destination to unwind: San Andrés de Giles. The presence of the Alpine driver did not go unnoticed and caused quite a stir among the residents of the Buenos Aires locality.

During his stay, Colapinto appeared relaxed, approachable, and always willing to greet and take photos with those who recognized him. Many locals took advantage of his visits to various shops in the town to capture a moment with the young driver, who moved naturally around the city.

One of the scenes that drew the most attention was his visit to a local butcher shop, where he agreed to take a selfie with the butcher.

The image, which later began circulating among motorsport fans, added to a series of everyday snapshots that reinforced the simple and approachable profile of the Argentine racer.

The trip to San Andrés de Giles came after Colapinto returned to the country to spend the holidays with his family in Pilar. In that context, he also took the opportunity to reunite with friends and enjoy various activities typical of the break. In his first days in Argentina, the driver attended an Airbag concert with his group of friends, played paddle tennis with Carlos Tévez at the World Padel Center in Nordelta, and did gym workouts wearing a Club Atlético Pilar jersey. Additionally, before Christmas, he shared a sushi dinner with his friend Bizarrap. After completing the 2025 Formula 1 season with Alpine, Colapinto is taking advantage of the break while the team works on a new model with which they aim to improve performance for the coming year.
