Franco Colapinto He was ready to enter another Q3 in his short experience in Formula 1. But a crash due to a millimeter error in the 21-year-old driver’s Las Vegas Grand Prix classification could even take him out of the race this Sunday, at 3 from Argentina.
It all happened when the 21-year-old Argentine was looking for the fastest lap that would put him in Q3, after a great Q1 in which he had gained seven tenths over his teammate, Alex Albon, eliminated in 18th place.
The native of Pilar went to the limit in turn 14, touched the inside edge with the left side of the FW46 and went all out towards the outside wall with the right side in the next one and was thrown down the main straight with the car destroyed.
“It was a strong impact, so the medical car was deployed, but Franco was able to get out of the accident and that is the most important thing,” the team said.
Additionally, Williams shared telemetry prior to the moment of impact and reported that “Franco was placing purple mini-sectors in sector 3.” However, contact with the wall in turn 15 left him out of qualifying.
Minutes after the crash, and while the rest of the drivers were waiting for the start of Q3, which was delayed, the drivers took the car wrapped in a black blanket to the box with the hope of recovering it. “A long night awaits our crew, but we will do everything possible to come back stronger tomorrow,” they hope from the pitlane.
