In general, the race weekend in Brazil was chaotic and marked by incidents. One racing team was particularly hard hit: Williams. After Alexander Albon had already wrecked his car in qualifying, his team-mate Franco Colapinto did the same in the main race. 

The red flag was Williams' constant companion on this race Sunday in Brazil. Colapinto was the first to be hit in qualifying. In the Senna-S, his car spun on the wet surface in Q1 and the young Argentinian ended up in the wall. However, the mechanics finally managed to get the car ready for the race.

In Q3, team-mate Alexander Albon finally wrecked his car. Fortunately, the driver was uninjured. However, it immediately became clear that his car could not be repaired for the main race. A first, severe setback.

A weekend to forget
The next one was to follow a few hours later in the race. After chaos at the start of the race and heavy rain, Colapinto lost control of his car. There was a heavy impact for the Argentinian. The race had to be interrupted.

Fortunately, Colapinto also escaped without serious injury in the end. For Williams, however, it was the second wrecked car. So the mechanics have a lot to do in the near future. The racing team wants to forget this weekend quickly.
