Alpine's Flavio Briatore rips into Franco Colapinto's Baku blunder: "A very poor move"

Alpine executive Flavio Briatore expressed sharp criticism following an Azerbaijan Grand Prix that ended in disaster for his squad. He specifically targeted Franco Colapinto, condemning a late-race maneuver that eliminated both Alpine competitors from the competition during a restart on lap 36.

The collision occurred when Colapinto slid past his braking point on a slick section of the Baku street layout, crashing directly into his colleague Pierre Gasly. Both racers were forced to retire immediately, prompting severe frustration from management over the self-inflicted double exit.
