Franco Colapinto: “I am personally walking, we are complicated as a team”

The Argentine spoke after the Azerbaijan GP, ​​in which it ended last after a touch of Alex Albon and the lack of competitiveness of Alpine.

Alexander Albon’s touch was key, there is no doubt about that. After that, which took place in the 17th round, Franco Colapinto’s career in the Azerbaijan GP was mortgaged. Without the spinning of the Williams pilot (he was sanctioned with ten seconds), the Argentine could be states in the fight for the 14th place, nor was it going to be much more. It is known, Alpine is the most weak team of Formula 1. with just 20 points added in 17 races, it is located last and comfortable in the World Cup.

After finishing 19th in the race, the Argentine analyzed his passage through the street of Baku. “I lost everything there with the touch of Albon. I went out with the rubbers bad after the spinning and broken wing. It was a very complicated race, without rhythm. I had a good start, but in rhythm we don’t have the car. It is quite simple, we spend the rubber a lot, we have no rhythm to go ahead. You have to take a lot of risk to go strong and things do not come out for now. You have to improve and work for the next one, ”he said.

Then, Colapinto aimed directly to his work: “I did things well on my side, I couldn’t do. The important thing is that I am showing that I am personally walking, much more I cannot do, we are complicated as a team,” was the clear message.

The next race will be in Singapore, a place where Alpine will also suffer, according to Colapinto: “Hopefully the car walks better, but it is a much more bumpy track and the car is very hard so we will do our best.”
