What are Lautaro Martínez and Lionel Scaloni doing in Monza? The Argentine snapshot that surprised F1
Inter's forward arrived at the circuit with Agustina Gandolfo after having been one of the main figures against Napoli and shared the day with Franco Colapinto at the Italian Grand Prix.
L autaro Martinez swapped the ball for motorsport for a few hours. Just one day after scoring two goals for Inter, the Argentine striker made the most of the Formula 1 day alongside his wife Agustina Gandolfo.
The striker's appearance was not the only one making the rounds in the paddock; Lionel Scaloni was also at the circuit together with his son, with whom he shares a passion for the top category of world motorsport.
From a brace in soccer to F1
The striker's appearance quickly generated reactions because of the moment in which it occurred: he comes from delivering an outstanding performance with the Italian side and now was seen enjoying the Grand Prix. On the other hand, it reflects the striker's closeness to Italy, the country where he has been playing for years and the great moment he is going through in football.
The visit also had a special touch: Franco Colapinto had stopped by Inter’s training a few days earlier to meet with Lautaro, ahead of his participation in Monza.
The striker's presence also came on a special weekend for Colapinto . The Argentine started seventh with Alpine and finished ninth in the Grand Prix , a result that allowed him to score points at Monza.
Agustina and Lautaro strolled around comfortably and with a fairly relaxed aesthetic; both moved through the paddock in outfits that blended casual fashion, oversized garments, and neutral tones.
The forward chose a white T-shirt, cap, sunglasses, and loose-fitting pants in beige and gray tones. But there was one detail that quickly drew attention: his companion was wearing a two-piece outfit with colors, texture, and a print very similar to Lautaro's pants.
She wore a backless top along with high-waisted, loose-fitting pants, while Lautaro kept things much simpler on top. The result was a kind of coordinated look, without becoming an identical outfit.
Scaloni was also present in Monza
Scaloni took advantage of his visit to tour the Mercedes team and was fascinated by what he found. The coach recalled that he has followed Formula 1 since he was a child and highlighted how much the category has changed over the years.
I also indicate being present to follow Franco Colapinto and Alphine. Even before the race he stated: “Franco brought Lautaro luck, hopefully now he’ll bring him luck the other way around”.
Scaloni also praised what Colapinto did over the weekend. The Argentine had started seventh, while his teammate Pierre Gasly was starting from pole, and the coach did not hide his excitement: "Hopefully things go well for him because he deserves it."
Finally, Colapinto delivered a good performance and finished ninth in Monza , earning points for Alpine. The result allowed him to wrap up a positive weekend at the Italian Grand Prix , closely followed by Scaloni and also by Lautaro.
