The Argentine driver of Alpine, Franco Colapinto, created a fun exchange on social media with the renowned television host Mirtha Legrand after it was announced that he would return to Formula 1 instead of Jack Doohan. Legrand congratulated Colapinto on his return to the "Maximum" through her official account, accompanying her message with a peculiar image that included Lionel Messi, the driver, and herself, as well as a flag with the three stars representing the World Cups won by the Argentine National Team in 1978, 1986, and 2002.
Colapinto responded by thanking Mirtha Legrand for her gesture and making a humorous request: "Put the Chiqui logo on your helmet for good luck." The interaction continued playfully when the Argentine driver asked the host to follow him on social media, to which Legrand responded positively. The presenter expressed her support for Colapinto with an encouraging message: "We will be supporting you here."
In a fun tone, Colapinto replied to Legrand jokingly: "Follow me, Mirtha," as he realized that the television personality was not following him on the digital platform. The host assured him that she was already following him in the competitions and extended her support on Twitter. The interaction between the driver and the host became a pleasant and friendly moment on social media, showcasing the closeness between two figures from different fields in Argentina.
