Colapinto retires from Brazilian GP after heavy collision

Argentine driver Franco Colapinto (Alpine) expressed his frustration after a heavy collision forced him to retire from the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race and admitted: 'I don't really understand why I lost the car.' Colapinto, who was running 14th after a good start where he gained two positions, spun out at the 'S of Senna' corner, just a few seconds after the same happened to Australian Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and German Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber) in that same sector. 'From one lap to the next, we lost a lot of grip. I hope they can fix the car because there's quite a bit of damage,' lamented the Argentine. Colapinto's activity at the Brazilian GP will continue at 15:00 local time, when the qualifying for the main race takes place. We have to try to understand what happened.
