Why Franco Colapinto left

The Argentine pilot, who started from 19th position at the Qatar International Circuitsuffered an accident in the first corner of the race when Nico Hulkenberg’s Haas lost control and collided with Ocon’s Alpine, which in turn caused the Argentine’s Williams, driven by the Pilar native, to be knocked out of action.

The Argentine had sought revenge after a complicated weekend, with problems both in qualifying for Saturday’s sprint and in qualifying for the main event.

Despite the efforts, the difficulties with a car with older technology than that of its companion Alex Albonespecially in the suspension, prevented it from finding its best performance.
