F1: Franco Colapinto finishes last in FP2 at the Italian Grand Prix | OneFootball

After being absent in the first free practices because he gave his single-seater to rookie Paul Aron, Franco Colapinto finished last in the FP2 of the Italian Grand Prix of Formula 1. The Argentine marked a time of 1:21.554, 1.686 behind Lando Norris, the leader of the session. Pierre Gasly, his teammate at Alpine, finished 18th half a second above. Review the highlights of Friday's day.

For the first training session, Colapinto left his A525 to the young Estonian, something that Formula 1 requires in at least two practices of the season. Aron did not have his best day: he made a spin and finished last more than two seconds from Lewis Hamilton, who led the first round of the day with a time of 1:20.117.

Already in the FP2, Alpine had its two titular pilots but the luck was not different. The power problems of the engine were noticed on the fastest circuit of the calendar. Franco finished last, more than a second and a half behind the Briton. Gasly finished 18th, almost five tenths better than his partner but also far from the leading positions.

When he tested race pace with a full tank and used medium tires, Colapinto marked very good times, staying in several laps above his teammates and drivers who have a better car.

"In general the car did not feel very good. A bit what happens to us every Friday, we have to find the way", concluded the 22-year-old from Pilar in the mixed zone.

As happened in Zandvoort, Kimi Antonelli went off track again in a practice and 15 minutes into the session had to abandon because his single-seater was stranded in the gravel.
