Franco Colapinto’s word before the race<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Franco Colapinto spoke about the mistake he made in Silverstone qualifying: \u201cIt was very strange\u201d<\/h2>\n

The 23-year-old Argentine rider referred to the problem he had with his A526 during the second attempt in Q1<\/h3>\n

The excellent start that made him gain five positions in the Sprint race during the first turn on Saturday was simply a glimmer of hope that faded the rest of the day for Franco Colapinto<\/b>. The Argentine, who had just had a poor performance on Friday, suffered the performance of his Alpine in the Sprint (he was 12th) and later starred in an extreme off-track that left him out of Q1 for the first time in the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is how the positions in Formula 1 remained after the Sprint in Silverstone: Antonelli’s coup for the title and Alpine’s present<\/h2>\n

The Italian beat Hamilton in the short race of the British GP and established himself as the leader of Formula 1. Colapinto finished 12th and Racing Bulls closed the gap on the French team<\/h3>\n

Andrea Kimi Antonelli<\/b> took the victory away from the local team Lewis Hamilton<\/b> at Sprint British Grand Prix<\/b>. The Italian of Mercedes<\/b> overtook the pilot Ferrari<\/b> who started on pole, and hit the table again in the fight for the Formula 1 title<\/b>. Alpine<\/b> was left empty-handed despite the great start of Franco Colapinto<\/b> who finished 12th (Pierre Gasly<\/b> finished 11th). Racing Bulls<\/b> added once again and closed the gap in fifth place in the Constructors’ Championship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Franco Colapinto’s brilliant start to gain 5 positions in the British GP Sprint race<\/h2>\n

The Argentine reacted with precision at the start of the competition and surpassed several rivals to climb to 9th place. However, the Alpine’s performance fell and it crossed the finish line in 12th place.<\/h3>\n

Franco Colapinto<\/b> had a classification for the sprint race<\/b> of the British Grand Prix<\/b> which he himself defined as \u201cdifficult\u201d after turning away from his teammate Pierre Gasly. The start of Saturday’s activity on the legendary Silverstone track was on the opposite side: the Argentine signed one of his best starts in Formula 1 to gain five positions in the first meters<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The unexpected statement from the director of Alpine that sowed uncertainty in the future of Franco Colapinto in Formula 1<\/h2>\n

Steve Nielsen referred to the Argentine’s continuity in the M\u00e1xima: \u201cIf he is good enough, he will stay, and if he is not, there will be a better option\u201d<\/h3>\n
