The "Colapinto tide" returns: how much does it cost to see the Argentine Formula 1 driver in the next five races?

On Sunday the 18th, at the Imola circuit in Bologna (Italy), the seventh race of the 2025 Formula One calendar will be held, and it will not be just another race, especially for Argentinians, because it will mark the return of Franco Colapinto to the highest category of world motorsport.

And just as happened last year, in the country - and also among Argentines living abroad - inquiries and sales of tickets, admissions and packages to go see the driver on his return have skyrocketed . For now, he has five confirmed dates: After Bologna, Colapinto's calendar will continue with the Grand Prix of Monaco (May 25), Barcelona (June 1), Montreal (June 15) and Austria (June 29).

Thus, this return will initially take place in destinations that are frequently visited by Argentines , which is expected to strengthen the presence of the pilot's fans.

However, getting tickets to the "Big Circus" isn't that easy , especially once the season has already begun, and in some cases, those searching will find " sold out " signs on the screens. Fortunately, there are specialists to avoid frustration.

“It's crazy again. Without Colapinto being the pilot , we had already sold four charters for the Interlagos Grand Prix in Brazil, and we're starting to sell the fifth. And now that it's coming back, we don't know, but it will probably be 10 planes, or more. Many people are now getting hooked on going to Imola,” says Manuel Rodríguez Villa of Mundo Tour ( mundotour.es ), one of the companies most familiar with Formula One, having been selling all-inclusive packages to attend the grand motorsport show for over 30 years .

“We're the only company that sells all the Grand Prix events on the calendar, and we have many race tickets that are already sold out . Some of them are huge shows in themselves, beyond the race itself. For example, at the Austin Grand Prix (Texas, USA), there are concerts all weekend , and the same is happening in Abu Dhabi, where this year Kate Perry and Metallica concerts on Sunday are already confirmed,” Manuel explains.

So how much does it cost to see Franco Colapinto return to Formula One?
