Colapinto warns Alpine over performance drop in Melbourne | OneFootball

The start of the Australian Grand Prix was not what the Alpine team had hoped for. In the first two free practice sessions at Albert Park, both Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly finished outside the top 15 (16th and 18th respectively), showing a significant drop in performance compared to what was seen during the Bahrain preseason.

After the session, the Argentine driver expressed his frustration at the lack of answers: “We don’t understand this difference in performance. In the corners, we are very slow; GPS data shows that we have neither grip nor downforce.” Colapinto emphasized that the team worked intensely throughout the day searching for improvements that have yet to appear, leaving them in a position “quite far” from their direct competition.
