Colapinto Gets Extra F1 Engine Penalty

Colapinto's penalty comes as the driver will be demoted further on the grid for taking a new Mercedes V6 engine. The Argentinian was already set to start from the back of the grid due to a five-place penalty carried over from the Baku Grand Prix, where he was punished for causing a collision with Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris.

The additional penalty adds to Alpine's challenges as they continue to develop their car throughout the season. Colapinto, making his F1 debut this year, has faced several mechanical setbacks that have hampered his performance on track. newsindata.com
