Franco Colapinto: “A pity that all the work has gone for a problem”

The Argentine spoke after the classification of the GP of Spain, where he seriously pointed to get into Q2, but an inconvenience in his Alpine left him lying.

Franco Colapinto could not believe it. After the very hard Friday, everything had gathered on the second day of activity of the GP of Spain, ninth formula date 1. With the third soft tire game that the team decided to use in the first segment of the qualy to try to get as high as possible. But everything was over when his Alpine had a problem that prevented him from putting the first in the middle of the boxes exit and everything was over. I couldn’t believe it. He hit the halo, took his face and He got off the A525 with disappointment in tow.

After chewing anger, Alpine’s Argentine pilot said what happened. “Some of the box or clutch passed, I don’t know well. It is a pity when this leaves you this without the chance of peeling in the qualy. He had a good rhythm, he was ninth before the last run, he was strong and with a lot to improve. It’s sad, because it was a good opportunity. Now you have to focus on the race, ”he said.

On Friday of Colapinto it had been very complicated and Alpine’s work stretched up to the night, with work in Montmeló and Estone. “It was a good job after yesterday, we did not have that potential and worked at night and we got it forward. A pity what happened. Today was firm for Q2, the truth is that it was similar to Pierre and with a couple of things to improve. We had improved a lot. A pity that all the work has gone for a problem. I felt better with the car, it’s not what we expected. We had potential to be ahead in Q1 and fight for Q2. Tomorrow (this Sunday) it will be a long race and there will be opportunities. You have to focus on not making mistakes. ”
