Colapinto to start 14th in the British GP sprint race | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto finished in 14th place in qualifying for the British Grand Prix sprint race and failed to advance to SQ3 at the Silverstone circuit.

The Argentine driver had shown promising signs during the day's only free practice session, where he finished 11th, but he was unable to repeat that performance in qualifying and was pushed back in the second session.

Behind the wheel of his Alpine, Colapinto tried to find the pace needed to break into the top ten, although he will ultimately have to start from the seventh row in the sprint race to be held this Saturday.

The standout figure on Friday was Lewis Hamilton. The Briton, racing on home soil, dominated the action from start to finish: he was the fastest in free practice and also took pole for the sprint with a time of 1m28s376.

Behind the Ferrari driver were Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen, while Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri rounded out the leading positions in qualifying.

The British Grand Prix sprint race will take place this Saturday starting at 8:00 a.m. (Argentina time), while later in the day qualifying will be held for Sunday’s main race.
