Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto rewarded the dedication of his supporters by taking the wheel of a custom Alpine-themed Renault 6 that a group of fans transported from Argentina to Brazil. The unique vehicle, adorned in Alpine colors, made the cross-border journey as a tribute to the Argentine rookie.
Colapinto, who drives for the Alpine-backed Williams team in 2026, was filmed driving the classic Renault 6 at an event in Brazil. The gesture highlighted the strong following the 21-year-old has built in South America since his F1 debut.
Images and video shared on social media showed Colapinto smiling as he drove the fan-decorated car, which carried both Argentine and Brazilian flags alongside Alpine branding. The Renault 6, a model produced in Argentina from the 1960s to the 1980s, holds nostalgic value in the region.
