Formula 1 returned to Buenos Aires thanks to Franco Colapinto, and the leading figures from the club from La Ribera did not miss it.

“We never had the chance before; it always catches us in the middle of the season, so we don’t really get much opportunity to meet. So today, being in Argentina, it was easy for us and we came by,” Boca’s captain began explaining.

Along the same lines, he highlighted the great moment being enjoyed by the racing driver from Pilar and said: “For me, it’s a pleasure. Hopefully he can also enjoy all the people here; what he’s achieving is something incredible.” He also added: “On our side, being Argentine and all, we support anything that is good for the country and for this sport as well, so that Franco can enjoy it.”

As for the Boca fandom Colapinto has publicly shown on every occasion, Paredes stressed: “He supports us from his side, and we do the same for him whenever we can.”

Miguel Merentiel also did not want to miss the Formula 1 celebration in Buenos Aires. La Bestia said that they “came to experience” the atmosphere of the top category of motorsport and found it “very nice.” The striker highlighted that “the people were really fired up” by Colapinto’s presence in the Great Circus and that it surely “must give him a lot of excitement” to see everyone supporting him.

He also took the opportunity to highlight his happiness over the Superclásico win against River, which Franco was following from afar: “We were able to give him and the fans something to celebrate, so we’re happy about that.” To wrap up, the Uruguayan joked about the power of the Formula 1 single-seater and said: “Tremendous. It’s a beast, this thing is a beast. Let’s go.”
