The F1 grid is composed of several football fans. Some of them did not hesitate to react after Argentina’s victory over France in a thrilling match.<\/p>\n
For Hispanic pilots, their hearts were torn towards the Albiceleste. This was notably the case for Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez. The Mexican driver even posted a photo of himself with the captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi.<\/p>\n

On the French side, disappointment was predominant. Despite the defeat, Esteban Ocon nevertheless paid tribute to the French team by expressing his pride after this month-long competition that could have led to a third world title for the Blues.<\/p>\n
\nUn grand merci aux Bleus de nous avoir fait r\u00eaver pendant cette Coupe du Monde. Nos joueurs n’ont jamais rien l\u00e2ch\u00e9 et y ont cru jusqu’au bout. <\/p>\n
On est tr\u00e8s fiers de vous ! \ud83d\udc99\ud83e\udd0d\u2764\ufe0f #FiersdetreBleus<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/EeX1pfmXm5<\/a><\/p>\n

Slightly different tone from Romain Grosjean. The future Porsche endurance racing driver took to Twitter in English to congratulate the Argentinians on their victory.<\/p>\n
\nSad for the French team, but what a game and excitement it was. Congrats Argentina \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7@equipedefrance<\/a><\/p>\n
