Madrid star summit: Colapinto and Gasly filmed with Zidane | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto had a special day in Madrid as he took part in a content shoot with Zinedine Zidane, a Real Madrid legend and the newly appointed head coach of the France national team, replacing Didier Deschamps. The promotional event for the Alpine team served as a prelude to the Spanish Grand Prix, where the Buenos Aires-born driver will look to confirm the strong form he showed in Monza.

The commercial event, focused on the company’s road cars, also brought together French driver Pierre Gasly, Colapinto’s teammate:

A marketing partnership with deeper significance

The 1998 World Cup winner with France serves as an ambassador for Alpine, acting as one of the public faces of its advertising campaigns and inclusion initiatives. When announcing his arrival, the team had highlighted his professional career as “an inspiring example for equal opportunity programs,” stressing the importance of diversity in both sporting and social performance. The football star’s involvement will not be limited to the brand’s commercials, as Zidane will accompany the Alpine delegation throughout the entire race weekend at the circuit in the Spanish capital.

The challenge at Madrid’s new circuit

The next round of the championship will be a real test for Colapinto. Formula 1 will race for the first time on a track in Madrid that has come under scrutiny following a controversial Formula 3 weekend marked by numerous incidents. The Argentine driver will face the major challenge of matching the ninth-place finish he achieved at the Italian Grand Prix, where he successfully recovered from a mistake that he himself described at the time as “a serious error.”

A previous elite encounter: visit to Lautaro Martínez

The marketing event with Zidane in Spain adds to another special meeting that Franco had days earlier with another major international football star. Before taking to the track at Monza,Colapinto visited Argentine striker Lautaro Martínez at Inter’s training facilities. On that occasion, made possible by a shared sponsor of the Milan club and the Alpine outfit, the two enjoyed a relaxed conversation with plenty of laughter and exchanged jerseys.
