Franco Colapinto finishes 19th at the Azerbaijan GP | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto finished 19th in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix: the Argentine gained three positions in the first laps, had a good pace with his Alpine while using medium tires, but Alex Albon (Williams) hit him on lap 18 and ruined his hopes of scoring points.

The 22-year-old started the race in 16th place and gained two positions at the start, taking advantage of the accident of Oscar Piastri -tournament leader- at turn five and the poor start of the German Nico Hulkenberg, Sauber's man. On the sixth lap, he took advantage of the DRS and took the 13th place from Canadian Lance Stroll (Aston Martin).

The Pilar native began to lose performance after lap 15 and entered the pits two laps later to change medium compounds for hard ones. When he came out, Alex Albon, who was running 18th, tried to overtake him on a too tight turn, hit him and made him spin, which is why the South American ended up last.

Since then, he ran last and far from his competitors, although faster than Gasly, who stopped a handful of laps before the checkered flag and returned to the asphalt behind Colapinto. However, the Frenchman overtook him at the end, a scene that has been repeated in recent races.
