Alpine has confirmed that Franco Colapinto crashed on the second day of a Pirelli tyre test at the Hungaroring, following on from last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Enstone-based outfit revealed on its social platforms that the Argentinian crashed at the high-speed Turn 11 right-hand corner.<\/p>\n
Following the accident, Alpine has stated that Colapinto visited the circuit medical centre for assessment but is OK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An Alpine statement read: “During Day 2 of Pirelli Tyre Testing at the Hungaroring this morning, Franco Colapinto had an incident at Turn 11. Franco was assessed on site at the medical centre\u00a0and\u00a0is\u00a0OK.”<\/p>\n
Colapinto has struggled since replacing Jack Doohan from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, and has consistently found himself towards the bottom of the timesheets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pierre Gasly’s been responsible for all 20 of Alpine’s points this season, leaving the outfit at the bottom of the constructors’ standings.<\/p>\n
However, in a small boost for Colapinto, he out-qualified Gasly in Hungary and finished a place ahead of him in the race in 18th.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alpine has confirmed that Franco Colapinto crashed on the second day of a Pirelli tyre test at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[859,1076,1074,1077,1075,997,707,998,1073,1072,1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-322299","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-daniel-ricciardo","9":"tag-f1-calendar","10":"tag-f1-live","11":"tag-f1-results","12":"tag-f1-standings","13":"tag-ferrari","14":"tag-formula-1","15":"tag-lewis-hamilton","16":"tag-max-verstappen","17":"tag-motorsport","18":"tag-racing","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114981442917311304","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
