Alpine's Flavio Briatore rips into Franco Colapinto's Baku blunder: "A very poor move"

Alpine F1 executive Flavio Briatore has strongly criticized driver Franco Colapinto following a double DNF for the team at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku. During a lap 36 restart, Colapinto locked his front tyres on the dusty track surface and collided with his teammate, Pierre Gasly, eliminating both cars from the race.

Briatore expressed extreme disappointment over the incident, specifically condemning the maneuver as "a very poor move." The collision effectively ended Alpine's race and resulted in significant lost points for the constructor.
