Franco posted both photos and videos from the event, capturing the whole team seated at the same table for the celebratory meal. Judging by the caption, the occasion was a teammate’s birthday: “A festive dinner with my iron family 🫶🏼😊 happy birthday Estuuu 🎂.”

It’s worth noting that this weekend marks another Formula 1 Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan. This round holds special significance for Colapinto, as it was here a year ago, driving for Williams, that he scored the first points of his Formula 1 career.

Now, the Argentine hopes to repeat that success this year with his new team. Colapinto is yet to score a single point this season and is eager to finally break through. His best finish so far in the current campaign is 11th place at the Dutch Grand Prix.
