P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Franco Colapinto continues to chase his first points of the year with Alpine after a frustrating end to a promising race in Canada.
“Franco Colapinto felt his race strategy hindered his performance in the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend, as Alpine called him in for an early pitstop on lap 12, leaving him stuck in traffic and wearing out his tires.
Despite starting strongly in 10th place, Colapinto finished 13th, a lap down on the race winner, due to the strategy choice that did not work in his favor.
He expressed frustration with the team’s decision, as it put him in a difficult position and compromised his race pace significantly.
This marks just his fourth race of the season at Alpine, and although he considered Canada his most competitive showing personally, he was disappointed with the outcome.
Pierre Gasly also had a challenging race, qualifying last and starting from the pitlane after technical changes required by Alpine outside of parc ferme rules.”
