Franco Colapinto prepares for Singapore Grand Prix Sprint weekend
Franco Colapinto, driving for Alpine, is preparing for the Singapore Grand Prix at the Marina Bay street circuit. The event features a Sprint format, which reduces the weekend schedule to a single practice session instead of the standard three.
Colapinto enters the race seeking to improve his standing after a difficult period in recent competitions. He currently sits 12th in the Drivers' Championship with 27 points, while Alpine holds 6th place in the Constructors' Championship with 68 points. During a pre-race press conference, Colapinto expressed optimism regarding the car's performance, stating that the team has a fast vehicle and that recent struggles are not due to a lack of competitiveness.
The Marina Bay circuit is noted for its high humidity, night racing under artificial lights, and close proximity to walls, making it one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar. This race serves as the final event before a brief break in the schedule prior to the United States Grand Prix.
