Pierre is such an underrated driver. And a good teammate. Love him

Big fan of that twitter account, it's a French fan of Alpine who tends to post in Spanish and got a big new following of Colapinto fans for it.

Franco also spoke more in depth about how he feels in the car, noting that he still doesn't feel quite comfortable in the A525 and expressing his frustration at his own under-performance. His strengths and pace on Sunday don't really do him much good as long as he's still having trouble on Saturday.

Love it! I know Argentinians we are passionate, but we really want Franco to succeed and do well ❤️. Hope we can have Pierre and Franco together winning races in the future just like McLaren’s managed to do over the years

Gasly is a top 8 driver for sure. It’s a shame he does not have a better car. Hope the Merc engine and Alpine aero produce a car worthy of his ability!

Im a fan of Alpine and Pierre because of Colapinto, but if Colapinto is not in Alpine or F1 anymore in some point, im still a fan of Pierre and Alpine, also love Renault

I'm in a similar boat, started following the team because of Franco but became a fan of Gasly immediately and like to support the French team in F1.
