What Alpine discovered about Franco Colapinto's Baku crash when they analysed his telemetry

Franco Colapinto's crash during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was deemed a minor mistake according to Alpine's telemetry analysis. Colapinto revealed that he had only applied the brakes 2-3% harder than necessary, which led to a lock-up entering Turn 1. This incident not only ended his race but also impacted the performances of his teammates Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris.

Despite the initial anger from team principal Flavio Briatore, Colapinto praised his leadership and ability to manage the situation. He highlighted that many drivers experienced similar lock-ups during the race weekend, indicating that the mistake was not unique to him. Colapinto's comments suggest a focus on learning from the incident rather than dwelling on the consequences.
