Despite crashing out of qualifying for the F1 Imola Grand Prix, Franco Colapinto received a grid penalty for breaking protocol following Yuki Tsunoda’s accident. Making his debut for Alpine, he replaced Jack Doohan, who failed to score any points in the first six races. Colapinto’s mistake during a red flag period earned him a one-place penalty as he misunderstood team instructions and entered the fast lane prematurely. He later crashed during qualifying but apologized to his team, acknowledging the costly error and expressing confidence in bouncing back stronger. Despite starting in 16th place and undergoing medical checks post-crash, Colapinto remains optimistic, highlighting the progress made by the team and his growing comfort in the car.
