Argentine driver Franco Colapinto (Alpine), who will start 15th on the grid for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, lamented the mistake he made in the penultimate lap of qualifying. "A shame," he said. Colapinto had a very good Q1, where he finished 11th and managed to advance to the top 15 who went to Q2. However, he could not cap off a good performance in the second qualifying session, as he needed a good time on his final laps due to the track conditions improving significantly in the rain, and his hopes were dashed when he went off at a corner. Regarding that moment, the Argentine explained: "In the penultimate lap, I was braking a lot and touched the piano (the kerbs) on the penultimate corner and the car went sideways." "It's a shame because that lap was quite good. In the race, Colapinto will be looking to score his first points in a very difficult 2025 for Alpine.
