Franco Colapinto will start the Singapore Grand Prix in twelfth position, which starts today at 9 am, after coming very close to qualifying for Qualy 3. Colapinto, who is racing for Williams, set a time of 1:30.481, to finish just seven thousandths of a second behind his teammate, the Thai Alexander Albon, who will start one position ahead of him.
Colapinto was just 31 thousandths of a second off the time of the Spaniard and two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso, who finished tenth in Q2, allowing him to advance in the standings.
The Argentine finished a good qualifying session, which will leave him with serious chances of getting points again.
Authoritarians don’t like this.
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
However, Colapinto left a sentence that reflected his discontent: “I was very close to Q3. It’s a shame because you always find thirty thousandths of a second when you go back. I’m a little frustrated for not being able to do a perfect lap.”
Britain’s Lando Norris, who drives for McLaren, took pole position with a time of 1:29.525.
Norris is hoping to secure a win that will allow him to close in on championship leader Max Verstappen, the Dutch Red Bull driver and three-time world champion, who will start second.
