The Argentine shared the stage with Pierre Gasly, Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda. He had a competition of team vessels and was cheered by the public.

At 10.35, punctual, as planned, the pilots of the Alpine team go to the stage of the Fan Zone of Isola, where the Emilia-Romagna GP is disputed. It looks like a recital of a mega band in the world. The apijado public with, logically, the predominant red color. From Ferrari there is everything: caps, shirts, flags. Many carry a flag with the hashtag “Keepimola”, before the very likely disappearance of Enzo and Dino Ferrari of the F1 calendar after the current visit. The presenter announces to the French team pilots and those of Red Bull, who share the stage. And the four come out, among them, of course, Franco Colapinto.

For closing, Franco speaks in Spanish. “Thank you all for coming. I see many Boca t -shirts, so better. We hope to have a good weekend.” The presenter says goodbye to the four. Tsunoda and Verstappen fly. Colapinto and Gasly stay to give caps that revole from the stage. Now, to the box and prepare the Saturday departure on Saturday.
