Colapinto shines in qualifying, starts ninth in Madring | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto had a great qualifying session at the Spanish Grand Prix and secured ninth place with his Alpine, so he will start from a more than interesting position in the race to be held at Madrid’s Madring circuit.

The Argentine showed very strong pace throughout the different stages of qualifying and managed to advance to Q3, once again placing himself among the ten fastest drivers. On a new and demanding circuit, Colapinto was able to make the most of his car’s potential and completed a performance that gives him reason to hope for points.

Pole position went to Lando Norris, who managed to beat Kimi Antonelli by just 11 thousandths. Max Verstappen completed the top three, while Colapinto ended up ninth on the grid.

The result represents a good opportunity for the Argentine driver, who will have several of Formula 1’s main protagonists ahead of him. In addition, Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso were unable to get through Q1 and will have to start the race from further back.

Now, Colapinto will face the challenge of turning his ninth-place starting spot into a strong race result. With a favorable position and an Alpine that responded well in qualifying, the Argentine will look to gain places and cap off a positive Sunday at the Madring’s debut.
