It has been a wretched day for Williams. You bet they can’t wait to get out of São Paulo quickly enough.
Franco Colapinto caused the suspension of the São Paulo Grand Prix due to a serious crash in the middle of the race. It was a disastrous day for Williams as both Colapinto and his teammate Alex Albon had accidents during a turbulent qualifying session earlier. Despite the Williams mechanics’ heroic efforts to get Colapinto back on track, Albon’s car was too damaged to continue. Colapinto was in 16th place on lap 33 when his car aquaplaned and crashed into a barrier, causing significant damage. The race was red-flagged immediately, with Esteban Ocon leading, followed by Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly, Lando Norris, and George Russell.
