Argentine race driver Franco Colapinto concluded a disappointing Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, finishing 15th in Barcelona. The 22-year-old was hopeful of an improvement to his fortunes in his Formula 1 return, at a track he’s familiar with, but the man from Pilar was stuck at the back of the grid for most of the race. Colapinto went into the race on the back of a gut-wrenching qualifying, where he had looked set for a first foray into Q2 as an Alpine F1 driver.

Argentine race driver Franco Colapinto will take the track for the third time as an Alpine driver on Friday. He will look to improve on his previous outings, a mixed Imola performance and a solid race at Monaco. Luckily for him, this time around he’ll race at a familiar track where he’s tasted plenty of victories and podiums: the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
