Alex Albon gave his take on the Franco Colapinto lights-out “divebomb” manoeuvre in the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
The Anglo-Thai driver, starting one place ahead of Colapinto on the grid in 11th place, expressed his initial outrage towards the Argentine racer. Albon exclaimed over the radio at lights out, “Franco just divebombed. What’s he doing?” During the start of the Singapore GP, Colapinto made a bold move, surging up the inside of Turn 1, advancing from 12th to ninth while Albon was pushed to the outside, dropping down to 15th position. Post-race, Albon commented on the incident stating, “I don’t know how it looked on the outside, but I think it was more just that no one could turn into the corner.” Albon expressed frustration about the weekend, feeling he had a car capable of qualifying in the top 10. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz also got caught out by Colapinto’s Lap 1 maneuver, emphasizing the need for caution in midfield battles. Colapinto, who has been making an impression since his Williams F1 debut, explained his Lap 1 pass, saying, “There was a space, and I went inside in the corner.”
