Alpine Managing Director Steve Nielsen admitted the team were "disappointed" by Franco Colapinto ignoring a team order to remain behind team mate Pierre Gasly in the closing stages of the United States Grand Prix.
Why was he given team orders anyway? If anyone, Gasly should’ve gotten team orders cause Colapinto was on much fresher tyres (not that it matters for a P18 or whatever)
They wanted Colapinto to hold up Bortoleto but the Sauber is currently a much better car, I’d say this was optimistic at the very least and probably would have ended up with both cars coming last
