Alpine and Williams are hit hard during the Las Vegas GP

The Las Vegas GP followed a nightmarish performance in Brazil for Williams, where the team suffered three crashes this weekend and Albon didn’t even start the race.

However, their situation did not improve in Las Vegas, where Albon made a Q1 exit and Franco Colapinto was involved in a terrifying crash in Q2.

The Argentinian’s car suffered extensive damage, with Williams once again faced with a monumental task to repair the car in time for the Grand Prix.

Colapinto was cleared to race, but had to start in the pit lane where a points finish for the team seemed unlikely.

Meanwhile, Gasly started the race in P3 after a spectacular podium in Brazil, and was on his way to another points finish for Alpine in Las Vegas.

However, the Frenchman suffered an engine failure and made a rather frustrated return to the garage, a missed opportunity for the team.
