After another lazy Friday of practices, the Argentine explained that his car “has different balances from one curve to another, especially in the rapids that is my forte.” “I have no confidence,” he said.
The Argentine pilot of Alpine, Franco Colapinthe said he did not feel comfortable with the car after what his presentations were in the free practices of the Austrian Grand Prix of the Formula 1.
This Friday, the 20 -year -old Pilarense began his weekend at the Red Bull Ring with his presentation in the first two trials, ending in the sixteenth place in the first batch and last in the second.
After this discreet performance, Colapinto said: “It was not very good, I did not feel very comfortable in general. In fast curves, more than anything, that is a bit my strong, I was not very comfortable with the car. A very different balance from one curve to another. Nothing, you have to work to return a little stronger tomorrow”.
“They improved the rest, I am generally costing those curves a little faster that you have to put a brake, steering wheel and have confidence in the car, and I am not having it. You have to work, but I think that in general there are a couple of things to learn.”the Argentine pilot added.
In addition, Colapinto referred to how he went this season compared to his French partner Pierre Gasly: “With a lot of gasoline we were fast, faster than Pierre in the two sessions so you have to understand the reason why in Canada and return stronger tomorrow”.
“What we saw at the beginning of today, after the first free test, that there were not many options to go in the direction I wanted to go, but well … you have to look for something else”he concluded.
