“Good first day here in Isola. I am very happy to return and obviously grateful to Team for the opportunity. Little by little, giving some little steps and step, so well, with much to learn and much to continue understanding with the team and the car, but good day in general, “said Alpine’s pilot to F1 TV.

And the ’43’ completed: “You have to continue progressing, understand many things today and return a little stronger tomorrow, but adapting to the car, the team and the engineers. And surely we are going to give a step tomorrow“

The other part of the interview with the official media of the F1, in English, was a little more analytical. “I am starting in a good place. There is still a lot to work with the order of the car, also with the tools and adjustments. But I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable in the car. There are still many things to learn and adapt, but we are building slowly. And I think that in the end I was beginning to be a bit more competitive“The born in Pilar said 21 years ago.

“The car looks quite strong, especially with Pierre (Gasly), so I’m sure we can do a good weekend,” added Colapinto, which last year premiered in the category with Williams.

Finally, who replaces Jack Doohan’s headquartering pilot throbbed the classification of this Saturday: “Q1 is complicated with traffic. We will have to be in it from the beginning. They are only two outputs, two laps (timed). And you have to hit both, in case one, in the second, something happens. And yes, it is important to try to be in everything. We have to check all the data at the last minute of the night. And I am sure we will arrive with good answers and a little stronger tomorrow with a good learning today“
