Colapinto 14th in Austria FP3, Russell sets the pace | OneFootball

Argentine driver Franco Colapinto wrapped up his practice sessions with a modest performance this Saturday, finishing 14th in the third free practice session (FP3) of the Austrian Grand Prix. The Spielberg circuit is hosting the eighth round of the Formula 1 season, a championship in which the Alpine representative has been enjoying a strong rookie year.

Behind the wheel of his single-seater, Colapinto clocked his best lap in 1:08.394. With that time, the Argentine was 1.298 seconds off the pace, which was set by Britain’s George Russell in his Mercedes.

With the final testing session to fine-tune the cars now complete, the weekend in Austria moves into its decisive stage, with all eyes on qualifying, where the Buenos Aires driver will aim for a strong starting position for Sunday’s race.
