Franco Colapinto out in Q1, starts 16th at the Dutch GP | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto returned to the track in Zandvoort to compete in the qualifying for this Sunday's race at the Dutch Grand Prix of Formula 1.

After an impressive 9th place on Friday in free practice 2, the Argentine driver was 20th in the last practice, less than a tenth behind his teammate Pierre Gasly (19th).

The McLarens dominated the session that opened Saturday's events with Lando Norris -1:08.972- leading, followed by Oscar Piastri (+0.242) and Mercedes' George Russell (+0.886) in third.

Colapinto was among the first to hit the track in qualifying and clocked 1:11.132, a time quickly surpassed by the rest.

Lance Stroll once again suffered an incident, with a spin and crash included, so he didn't even manage a time and was out.

After entering the pits, Franco returned to the track in the last two minutes in search of a good lap to get into Q2 but fell short: he finished 16th and didn't make it past the cut.

Pierre Gasly finished 8th, being only two-tenths faster than the Argentine and remains in the competition.
