The footage, recorded from a pickup truck, shows the Argentine driver running at a steady pace in adverse conditions and reveals a noticeable physical change.
At 22 years old, the driver from Pilar is going through crucial weeks of preparation ahead of one of the biggest challenges of his career, after his continuity in the F1 universe with Alpine for the 2026 season was confirmed.
Although he returned to Argentina to spend the holidays with his family, Colapinto hasn't reduced the intensity of his training and decided to share, directly or indirectly, part of that routine with his followers.
The video went viral quickly after SportsCenter's X account reposted it with a comment that did not go unnoticed: "Colapinto runs in the rain and gets himself ready for the 2026 Formula 1 season. Watch out. He's huge!"
In the footage, viewers can see the driver training with his torso bare, which made it possible to notice a marked increase in muscle mass in his upper body, the result of the demanding physical work required by the top category of motor racing.

Beyond the visual impact, training on a wet surface is not accidental. This type of practice is essential for improving reflexes, endurance, body control, and tolerance to effort in unfavorable conditions, which are key skills for performance inside the car. Physical preparation, especially in the neck, arms, and core, is one of the pillars of competing at the highest level in Formula 1.
As usually happens with each public appearance by the driver, the reactions multiplied quickly. The comments flooded the posts with messages that mixed humor, admiration, and excitement for what is coming.
"Faster than Alpine 2025," "Incredible physical shape, this season looks very promising" and "His arms are massive, the work really shows" were just some of the messages his followers left.
