Dutch Grand Prix: Lando Norris fastest in Friday practice at Zandvoort

Behind the Eighth Leclerc, Franco Colapinto from Alpine came ninth, Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg’s British HAAS driver Oliver Bearman finished the top 10.

At the official news conference between Sessions, Alpine’s de facto boss Flavio Briatore aroused suspicion about Colapinto’s future in the team.

Argentina was signed as a reserve driver from Williams during the winter, and the Australian team replaced Australia Jack Doohan from the sixth race of the season, but did not impress it.

Colapinto asked what he had to see to protect his seat, Briatore said: “I see everything anymore. I don’t have to see anything anymore.

For this driver, it is very difficult for this driver. These cars are very heavy, very fast, very fast. And a young driver put it in Formula 1, perhaps having Franco in Formula 1 did not need to timbre. Maybe he needs one or two more years to be a part of Formula 1.

“And I know, in the end, the important result. It works hard. It works hard to satisfy them with engineers, but that’s not what I expect from Colapinto.”
