“I have more speed, but in the straight I can’t get close”: Colapinto and the analysis of his claim to pass Hauger

After the race, Franco Colapinto talked to ESPN and he referred to that episode where he asked his team to allow his teammate to pass, Dennis Hauger on the track: “I picked the first curves well, went through a few and then we continued. I had more pace than Dennis at one point in the race, but on the straight I couldn’t get close. I came out of turn six into the long straight very close, but the distance was maintained throughout the straight and very hard on the DRS gear. I was so close, but I never had the chance“.

Beyond that episode, the pilot of MP Motorsport He is excited about the development of the team and the future in the category, although he expressed the need to improve in some aspects of the weekend and not only think about the final race: “We had a good run, I recovered from another difficult qualifying in the races. We are doing very well, we have to prioritize qualifying because something always happens to us. If I hadn’t been driving a bit badly, I’d have been unlucky or I’d have hit a wall in Jeddah. We have to work as a team to focus a little bit on that and qualify well, because it is very important. Starting 13 or 14 and reaching fifth place is very good“.
