Colapinto suffers big FP2 crash at Hungarian GP, alarm bells ring | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto was involved in a worrying moment during the second free practice session of the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix, after suffering a heavy crash that forced the session to be stopped with a red flag.

The Argentine driver lost control of his Alpine at the Hungaroring circuit and ended up crashing into the safety barriers. The impact caused significant damage to the rear of the car, although fortunately Colapinto walked away unharmed.

The accident prompted a swift response from the circuit’s safety teams, and the session had to be neutralized for several minutes while the car was removed and track conditions were checked.

The weekend in Hungary had begun with expectations for Colapinto, who returned to the track in FP2 after not taking part in the first free practice session due to Formula 1’s mandatory young driver rotation rule.

Beyond the scare, Alpine’s priority quickly became assessing the damage to the car and confirming that the Argentine was in good condition. The team will have to work against the clock to get the car ready for the next Grand Prix sessions.

The crash adds a new chapter to Colapinto’s season, as he continues trying to establish himself in the top category and make the most of every opportunity behind the wheel of the Alpine.
