Franco Colapinto surprised Pierre Gasly with an Argentine dunk before the Monaco Grand Prix.

Argentine Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto shared a fun moment with his Alpine teammate Pierre Gasly after the man from Pilar made him try mate before the Monaco Grand Prix.

“It looks elegant,” the French runner said, referring to the mate and bombilla , as the 21-year-old showed him how to prepare the country’s traditional beverage and the ideal temperature for the water to be able to enjoy the infusion.

Likewise, the Argentine decided to take the first mate and ended up getting burned after taking the first sip. After the hilarious incident, both drivers laughed, and it was Gasly who took the second sip.

"It's good. I can taste it a little strong, because you can taste that it's not too sweet," the Frenchman reacted. He added: "With this, I'll be awake until 4 in the morning." There, Colapinto clarified that he "usually drinks it in the morning," but that it can be drunk at any time of day.

The Pilar native and Gasly will compete in the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, where they will look to score important points for the French team in the drivers' championship. However, the "Principality" is one of the most challenging circuits on the calendar , so a good position in Saturday's qualifying, which begins at 11:00 a.m., will be crucial.
