Franco Colapinto hit with grid penalty on Alpine debut after pit lane blunder
Franco Colapinto has received a one-🌠place grid pe♛nalty for Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix

Franco Colapinto 🐠has been hit with a one-place grid penalty for Sunday’s E🍒milia Romagna Grand Prix due to a pit lane offence in qualifying.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史♍: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 sta𝓀rt time”.
As teams ꧒prepared for the resumpꦬtion of the session, a number of cars were waiting outside of their pit garages - but crucially - not in the ‘fast lane’.
Drivers are not allowed to wait at the end of the pit lane until the start time is o🦂fficiall𝕴y announced.
However, due to a mis-c♊ommunication with the Alpine pit wall, 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 Colapinto is now under investigatio🍬n.
Race control noted in Q1♑, Colapinto will be investigated aftꦰer 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 r🐻a🧸ce from 16th on the grid.
The former Williams driver's qualifying ended early after he lost control of his car through the Tamb🦩urello chicane.
Mercedes penalised in Bahrain
Mercedes duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kimi Antonelli wꦡ🌠ere handed one-place grid penalties at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Following Esteban Ocon’s shunt in Q2, the two Mercedes drivers were the first to exit their garages and stop at the🌱 end of the pit lane.
🐻Like Colapinto, this was done before a restart time was confirmed by🍃 race control.
The stewards agreed that Mercedes could have gained a “sporting advantage” because “it coul﷽d enable a team to perform its run plan whereas other teams may not be able to.”
As a result, they felt a sporting penalty was justi💝꧒fied.
