Franco Colapinto finished 13th at the Canadian Grand Prix after starting from 10th position. The Argentine driver moved up to ninth place during the opening lap but could not maintain his position. His team chose the wrong strategy and switched him from medium to hard tires early during the race. The Alpine engine lacked power on the straight sections of the track. Colapinto struggled to overtake other cars because his car was slower than competitors.
The driver from Pilar blamed poor race strategy for missing out on championship points. Other drivers who stopped for tire changes later ended up ahead of him. Carlos Sainz, Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon all finished better after making their pit stops at different times. Colapinto explained that his car worked well when racing alone but struggled when following other vehicles. Traffic from slower cars made his situation worse throughout the race.
The young driver remains hopeful about upcoming races at Austria and Silverstone circuits. He believes his team made progress during Saturday qualifying sessions. Colapinto wants to find the right car setup to improve his confidence and grip levels. The driver hopes similar problems will not happen again during future race weekends.
