Franco Colapinto, the 21-year-old rising Formula 1 star, has recently been spotted on what appears to be a romantic date with China Suarez, a former rival of Wanda Nara, according to reports in Argentina.
Colapinto has been making waves in the motorsport world after a remarkable debut with Williams in August, taking over from Logan Sargeant. His impressive performances, including a strong outing at the Italian Grand Prix in September, have fueled speculation that he could secure a spot in the 2025 F1 grid. While Williams has already confirmed Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon for next season, many are now tipping Colapinto for a potential seat at Red Bull or its sister team, RB.
However, Colapinto’s performance at the challenging Brazilian Grand Prix was less stellar, and now, ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, all eyes are on his personal life. Recent footage shows Colapinto and Suarez, 32, enjoying dinner together at the Los 33 restaurant in Madrid. The video, shared by LAM (América TV), shows the pair leaving the venue late at night, after spending several hours in a private room. Suarez, an Argentine model with over 6.5 million followers on Instagram, has had her fair share of controversy, particularly surrounding her 2021 relationship with Mauro Icardi, which caused a public rift with his then-wife, Wanda Nara.
The model denied accusations of being a “homewrecker,” saying that she had been misled by Icardi, who claimed he was separated from Nara at the time. She added that she had kept silent for the sake of her family, but that silence had often worked against her.
While Colapinto and Suarez have not commented publicly on their relationship, their date has captured significant attention. Colapinto’s personal life is now under as much scrutiny as his racing career, and his connection with Suarez, a figure familiar to many for her role in the Icardi-Nara saga, has only added to the intrigue surrounding him.
As the 2023 season nears its end and the 2024 grid takes shape, fans and the media alike are keeping a close eye on both Colapinto’s performances and his private life.
