Franco Colapinto preps for Monaco Grand Prix qualifying after 15th in practice

Argentine driver Franco Colapinto finished 15th in the first free‑practice session for the Monaco Grand Prix, while Ferrari dominated the day with Charles Leclerc fastest and Lewis Hamilton second. The Alpine‑run rookie used the session to gather data on the demanding street circuit.

Colapinto will aim for a strong grid position in the qualifying session scheduled for 11 a.m. Argentina time on Saturday. The narrow Monaco track offers limited overtaking, making qualifying crucial for his chances of scoring points.

Both articles underline the technical challenges of the Monte‑Carlo layout and the heightened expectations of Argentine fans as Colapinto seeks to build on his recent sixth‑place finish in Canada.
