The F1´s latest star is riding social media solo with unfiltered post and interactions
Franco Colapinto is not just making waves on the racetrack; he's also capturing attention on social media.
The 21-year-old F1 driver from Argentina is trending once again, but this time it's not because of his impressive performance on the Monza Grand Prix. Colapinto is going viral on X, for his social media publications, with his humorous publications that show even top athletes can be like the rest of us in this part of the world..
It all began on Sunday, shortly after Colapinto's debut race in Monza. The Williams driver expressed his excitement about his first Formula 1 race, sayin: "What an unforgettable day! I can't explain how much I enjoyed my first F1 race. We had great pace and worked well with the team. We need to keep pushing... but you have no idea how much my body hurts. On to the next one!"
Later, when fans expected his next tweet to be a standard thank-you or expression of euphoria, Colapinto surprised everyone by sharing a video from the pits with the caption "fa re cheto se ve de afuera" (which roughly translates to "looks so posh from the outside"). This playful post made it clear that Colapinto himself is behind his X account, unlike many celebrities who rely on community managers.
The standout publication came on Tuesday, September 3, when Colapinto thanked Elon Musk for restoring his verified status and the iconic "blue check." However, thousands of users noticed a curious detail in Colapinto's screenshot: a user he didn't even know existed, sparking a humorous exchange between the driver and his followers.
Through these interactions, Colapinto has shown that he's not just a top driver in the world but also relatable and down-to-earth on social media.
