The amusing exchange between Franco Colapinto and Mirtha Legrand on X

The Argentine driver  Franco Colapinto, one of the great promises of national motorsport, was once again the talk of the town, but this time not for his performance on the track, but for a charming exchange with the television diva, Mirtha Legrand. The young racer made an unexpected request on social media that quickly went viral: "Follow me, Mirtha", he wrote humorously, sparking a wave of amusing comments that made his innocent request go viral.

It all started when Mirtha Legrand used her official account to congratulate Colapinto on his recent achievements, expressing her support with a message full of national pride. The post was accompanied by an image of the Argentine flag, featuring both Mirtha herself and Lionel Messi, another Argentine icon. A gesture that, far from going unnoticed, was very well received by the young driver.

Colapinto's response was immediate and relaxed, with a touch of mischief, he asked Mirtha to follow him on the platform X  (formerly Twitter). The message was brief but effective and he accompanied it with smiling emojis. Users quickly reacted, celebrating the exchange with comments like: "Begging for a follow, I love you Franco", "I love him, he's a character", and "You have to say the magic phrase for her to follow you: 'As they see you, they treat you...'"

This charming episode highlighted the good vibes between both figures, despite some past inconveniences. It is worth remembering that in December 2024, Colapinto had been invited to the television program and confirmed "Lunching with Juana", hosted by Juana Viale, Mirtha Legrand's granddaughter. However, the driver canceled his participation at the last moment, which might have caused some discomfort in the Legrand family. Even so, everything seems to be in the past, and this recent exchange of words between them made it clear that it is so.

In an environment where formality or secrecy often prevails, Colapinto stands out for his spontaneity, something that undoubtedly brings him even closer to the young audience and the Argentine public in general. Additionally, Mirtha's gesture demonstrates her interest in supporting new generations of Argentine talents and accompanying them from her position.
