F1 team fined thousands over FIA rule breach at Las Vegas GP
“The Alpine F1 team was fined after the Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying due to a breach involving Franco Colapinto’s car. Despite his teammate Gasly’s successful Q3 appearance, Colapinto failed to score a single point and was knocked out in Q2. The team’s failure to electronically lodge the return of the tyres from Colapinto’s car led to a €5,000 fine for breaching sporting regulations. It is uncertain whether Colapinto will remain at Alpine, as his lackluster performances have drawn criticism from rivals like Lance Stroll. Stroll advised Colapinto to focus on scoring points rather than making irrelevant comments, hinting at the tension between the two drivers.”
