Franco Colapinto sustained a heavy crash during qualifying for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
“Franco Colapinto suffered a major accident during Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying, hitting the inside wall at Turn 16 and then crashing into the opposite side of the track at high speed. Despite the crash, the 21-year-old declared he was fine over the team radio and got out of the car on his own. This incident compounds Williams’ recent struggles, with crashes in Mexico and Brazil reportedly costing the team over $3 million. Both Colapinto and teammate Albon were involved in crashes during Brazil qualifying, while Albon had two accidents in Mexico the previous week. Colapinto’s crash occurred at the end of Q2, while Albon failed to advance beyond the opening segment.”
