Franco Colapinto offered his apologies to Alpine after crashing in his first appearance for the team in qualifying.

The driver who replaced Jack Doohan this weekend spun into a barrier at Tamburello during Q1. He had already set a time quick enough to reach Q2 but was unable to take part in the session.

“It’s just a pity,” said Colapinto, who is set to start tomorrow’s race from 15th. “The team has been doing a great job.

“The car was very competitive. We found a lot of pace from [final practice] to quali. [I was] just pushing to the limits, it’s very tight margins here in Q1 and Q2. I was just finding new things lap after lap.

“Unfortunately it was a little mistake that was very costly. So just a big ‘sorry’ to the team.

“I think we have a lot of work to do overnight now, but I’m sure we are going to come back stronger tomorrow.”

Pierre Gasly reached Q3 and will start from 10th place in the other Alpine. Colapinto does not think he could have replicated that result.

“I felt not so comfortable yesterday, today I started to feel much more together with the car and I was already into a good point,” he said. “It’s just unfortunate today.

“The car was very quick, we had very good pace. Pierre is showing it. I don’t know if [I could have reached] Q3, but I’m sure that a good result in Q2, we would have had.”
