Flavio Briatore, Alpine F1 executive, has been left "extremely disappointed" with his team's performance in the Azerbaijan GP. On lap 36, Colapinto locked his front tyres on the dusty, low-grip inside of the Baku street circuit, slamming into Pierre Gasly and eliminating both drivers from the race. djcc.club
Briatore described Colapinto's maneuver as "a very poor move" that cost the team valuable points in the competitive F1 season. The incident occurred during a restart, adding to the frustration as it prevented both Alpine drivers from capitalizing on their race positions.
