Franco Colapinto

ANALYSIS
The Alpine youngster would roll off P15 at the lights out and show good pace early on. Colapinto would climb to 13th-place by his opening pit stop. However, an anxious moment would happen on lap 22 when he would be harvesting energy going into the Spoon curve and find himself a sitting duck in the track for a much faster Oliver Bearman. The Haas driver would dodge Colapinto at high speed and end up crashing in the turn. The crash would bring out the safety car and upset Colapinto's race strategy. He could only manage P16 by the checkered flag at the Suzuka Circuit.
