Without participation in Suzuka, Franco Colapinto practiced in Monza.

The presence of the Pilar native in Italian lands quickly went viral on social media, as several fans shared photos and a video of him touring different areas of the circuit. It is worth noting that another of Alpine's reserve drivers, Estonian Paul Aron, was the one who drove on Saturday during the practice sessions on the same track. Besides the French team, the Williams team was also present, Colapinto's former team, which conducted its own tests with two drivers from its young talent program.

The next stop will be the Bahrain Grand Prix, where Franco won't be present with the team. His next appearance is scheduled for Saudi Arabia and, according to the official page of the Argentine driver, a week later he will be back in the pits during the Miami Grand Prix.
