F1 star at risk of MISSING Las Vegas Grand Prix as team issue official statement
An F1 star is at risk of missing the Las Vegas Grand Prix after their team issued an official statement.The Las Vegas GP has already been a tough one for Williams, with both Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto exiting qualifying prematurely.Albon, who suffered a fuel system issue in FP2 on Thursday, could not extract enough pace from his car to progress into Q2 in Vegas. The 28-year-old will start Sunday’s race in P18, a disappointing return to action after he failed to start the last race in Brazil.Despite Albon’s woes, it was Franco Colapinto who made the headlines after he suffered a terrifying crash in Q2.Trying to put in a lap to get through into Q3, Colapinto clipped the wall at the inside of Turn 16. The contact sent him and his Williams smashing into the barrier on the right and scattering the track with debris.Whilst the Argentine managed to climb out of the car and appeared fine, Colapinto must now pass medical tests to be able to race in Saturday’s race.Williams have since released an official statement on Colapinto’s condition and revealed the risk that he could miss the Las Vegas GP after suffering an impact of over 50G.
