Franco Colapinto appears to have survived the wrath of Alpine Formula 1 boss Flavio Briatore after he triggered a late-race accident in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix - which cost the team a double points finish. Colapinto locked his brakes during a safety car restart and took out both team-mate Pierre Gasly and McLaren's Lando Norris
Briatore's post-race statement triggered speculation that he could drop Colapinto from the line-up for this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia as a punishment. Colapinto already faces a five-place grid drop after being found guilty of causing the collision.
