"A big mistake" - Devastated Franco Colapinto apologises to Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris for Baku F1 crash
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported23m ago
During the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, Alpine Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto triggered a multi-car collision on a lap 36 restart. Colapinto locked up his cold front tyres and crashed into his team-mate, Pierre Gasly, and McLaren driver Lando Norris, knocking all three drivers out of the race.
Following the incident, a devastated Colapinto publicly apologised, taking full blame for what he described as a "big mistake."
The crash drew sharp criticism from Lando Norris, who called the maneuver reckless and argued that Colapinto deserves at least a one-race ban from the FIA for causing the pile-up.
