F1 star forced into SHOCK retirement at Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concluded on a heartbreaking note for Williams driver Franco Colapinto, who was forced into an unexpected retirement mid-race.
The season finale, filled with high stakes and intense competition, saw Colapinto start in P20 after a late gearbox change led to a five-place grid penalty.
However, his hopes of finishing the race were dashed on lap 28 when a power unit issue forced him to retire.
The disappointing end came after what had already been a challenging weekend for the Argentine driver.
The team delivered the unfortunate news to Colapinto over the radio, marking a tough moment in what may be his final F1 race for the foreseeable future.
With no confirmed seat for the 2025 season, his immediate future in Formula 1 remains uncertain.
Colapinto’s departure from the race not only ended his campaign on a sour note but also cast doubt on whether fans will see him on the grid again soon.
Despite the setback, his resilience and determination throughout the season have left an impression, even as questions loom about his career moving forward.
