Franco Colapinto: “I don’t know what happened, I’m sad and frustrated”

The Argentine spoke after not having been able to start Britain’s career for a ruling in his Alpine.

Franco Colapinto could not even start the GP of Great Britain. The Alpine team decided to get him out of the grid (he had to start last after his error in Q1) to change the power unit. The Argentine turned previously and went to the PIT, from where he should start, but the Estone’s team made him stop first to change the intermediate tires for hard smooth ones in the middle of the changing climate. His A525 would never start again. “It is the same problem as in Barcelona,” the Williams Expileot said on Radio. In the GP of Spain, Colapinto suffered the inconvenience an inconvenience of transmission that left him unable to leave Boxes Street in classification.

They asked him to reset, he turned off everything, he started again, but there was no case, it was abandoned without leaving (the GP of Great Britain will not appear as disputed in his campaign in F1). Franco was sorry and almost broken in the dialogue with El Team: “It can’t be, it can’t be.” Colapinto lived almost the entire race in the box. Only when there were a couple of turns for the flag of paintings, the Argentine appeared in the press corralite for the mandatory contact with the press.

“I don’t know what happened, we don’t know yet, but I couldn’t even get out of the box. A pity that these things are happening to us, we had a couple of problems lately. After a good weekend in which I had found quite preformation and we had found a good rhythm in general, it is a pity that this happened, it was a good career to run by seeing everything that happened before the AM850 microphone.

Alpine marches last in the World Cup with 19 points, all added by Pierre Gasly. In fact, the Frenchman was sixth in Silverstone, his best result of 2025, and appeased the damage of having played the race with a single car. The French shone with his A525, taking the juice to a car with which he suffered a lot in the three batches. I could practically not take it along the track.

The advance of former Red Bull and Alpha Tauri in the weekend was sensational. He took the most out of the package given by the Escudería de Estone and left eighth, after being tenth in the classification. In the race, he remained on the track, in the complicated conditions, and with a good pace he finished sixth.

Colapinto was complicated only for Saturday error. It is also true that if your car had not failed, you could have advanced. The data is Nico Hülkenberg, who from the 19th place of departure reached the podium (it was third). On the other side of the theory is that Oliver Bearman was the only one of the least experienced in the grill they managed to finish. But it is useless to build on assumptions. The reality is that Colapinto suffered two problems in Spain (hydraulic escape and transmission), which in Canada had to change the brake discs in full grid and Silverstone, again problems. Alpine is in full waiting process to know what his future will be, which will begin to delineate when he assumes the new CEO of Renault (the resigning Luca De Meo will leave his position next 15). The team shows Endebez and a certain lack of organization. On the other side of the theory is that Gasly could add in Britain.

“I am sad because this weekend I was faster than Pierre and see where it ended … you have to continue working and focused on what is coming. They will come clues that I like, that I enjoy driving. We will see what we can do and have a better weekend. I am trite and frustrated because the weekend ended that it had started well. No pilot wants to go through this of not being able to leave, ”Collapinto closed.
