“We have good data, it’s a difficult track”

Franco frankntoto He is on his way to walking in the Formula 1 and after his bittersweet first time in the Icola GP with Alpineits history in Monaco It seems that it will be at a firm pace, cautiously (perhaps too much) and letting go of little by little to reach the important rhythm, Saturday’s classification and Sunday race.

The Argentine pilot exceeded practices 1 and 2 on Friday without shocks, avoiding the walls of the street circuit that proposes Montecarloas beautiful as dangerous. And it was not involved in the numbers friction and incidents that occurred in the two hours of action: Leclercthe fastest in both batches, suffered a bad maneuver of Stroll and broke his trunk; Hamilton He calculated badly and flew with his four wheels above a pianito; Plate He blocked and was against a wall in the first curve, and the rookie Hadjar crashed not once but twice against the FP2.

Thus, between interruptions and with a lot of traffic on the asphalt, Colapint did what he could … but he did it taking his time. In the second practice it was last, more than two seconds from Leclerc, to one of his partner Pierre Gasly and almost nine tenths of Ocon, which was 19. Too much. Saturday will be time to accelerate. In the Medo he received a good one? News: Ollie Bearman was penalized with 10 positions for imprudence so he will quite possibly go to the bottom of the grid.

“Well, first day here in Monaco … a lot of learning, it is a difficult and complicated track, of great confidence. You have to try to go step by step and improve … See you tomorrow,” Franco said.

“I could almost not go with the amount of red and yellow flags, it was complicated there,” he also told Fox Sports, walking through the paddock. He added: “We have a good data, a lot to learn and understand now at night. We must continue to improve obviously it is the first day on a very difficult track, Alpine is a car that costs us in slow curve, so you have to work for tomorrow.”
