Alpine driver Franco Colapinto is set for an additional grid penalty at Formula 1's Bahrain GP after taking a new Mercedes V6 engine. The Argentinian was already facing a five-place grid drop carried over from last weekend's Baku race, where he caused a collision with Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris.

The new engine penalty means Colapinto will now start further down the grid in Bahrain as he continues to adapt to the demands of Formula 1 competition. sportnewz.click
