Franco Colapinto hit with grid penalty on Alpine debut after pit lane blunder
Franco Colap💞into has received a one-place grid penalty for Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Franco Colapint🦋o has been hit with a one-place grid penalty for Sunday’𓆉s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix due to a pit lane offence in qualifying.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda’s scary rollover crash resulted in an early red flag in Q1 at Imola.
With repair work being done to the track, the FIA announced an “estimated sta𓆏r🏅t time”.
As teams prepared for the resumption of the session, a number of cars were wait🐎ing outside of their pit garages - but crucially - not in the ‘fast l🌺ane’.
Drivers are not allowed to wait at the end of the pit lane until💝 the start time is officially announceওd.
However, due to a mis-communication with the Alpine pit wa💖ll, Colapinto left the designated area🦋 near the Alpine pit garage and was waiting at the end of the pit lane.
Alpine apologised for the confusion, but Colapiꦿnto is now under ✅investigation.
Race control noted in Q1, Colapinto will beꦚ investigated after the session for “failing to follow race director’s instructions - entering the fast lane before resumption time announced”.
Colapinto is now set to start the♍ race from 16th on the grid.
The former William🎉s driver's qualifying ended early after he lost control of his car through the Tamburello chicane.
Mercedes penalised in Bahrain
Mercedes duo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Kimi Antonelli were han📖ded one-place grid penalties at the꧒ Bahrain Grand Prix.
Following Esteban Ocon’s shunt in Q2, the two Mercedes drivers were the fi🍸rst to exit their garages and stop at t꧃he end of the pit lane.
Like Co🍨lapinto, this was done befor𓆏e a restart time was confirmed by race control.
The stewards agreed that Mercedes could have gained a “sporting advantage” because “it could enable a team to perform its run plan whereas other teams may not be abl⭕e to.”
As a🐠 result, they felt a sporting penalty was🐎 justified.
