VIDEO – Franco Colapinto causes a red flag in qualifying

The chalice to the dregs! For Alpine, the weekend was already off to a particularly bad start after some particularly sluggish testing, but for the French team, things are going from bad to worse. In Q1, Franco Colapinto made a blunder by spinning in the last sector. Then credited with the 19th fastest time - ahead of gasly, last - the Argentinian was completing a second attempt to try to escape from the red zone when he lost control of his car. This one slid through the gravel trap until it hit the wall. Although he was able to return to the track, the former driver Williams ended up parking at the edge of the track, his Alpine being unable to complete a lap to return to the pits. Visually, the rear wing of his car was in poor condition.
