弗兰科·科拉平托回应了杰里米·克拉克森关于因他是阿根廷人而应给他罚退的言论。
克拉克森开玩笑说，科拉平托因为他是阿根廷人而应该被罚退。
弗兰科·科拉平托回应了杰里米·克拉克森关于因他是阿根廷人而应给这位阿尔派一级方程式车手罚退的言论。
克拉克森是作为阿尔派车队的嘉宾出席美国大奖赛的，并于周六接受了天空体育F1的采访，他在采访中开玩笑说：“弗兰科因为他是阿根廷人而得到了罚退。大概吧。好吧，我会因此给他一个罚退。但不管怎样，那只是因为我们去那里时发生的事情。”
克拉克森指的是科拉平托因超出动力单元部件配额而实际受到的罚退，而且很可能还指他主持的《Top Gear》节目2014年的巴塔哥尼亚特辑。当时，因为一块引发争议的车牌，阿根廷抗议者将其解读为对马岛战争的影射，导致拍摄提前中断，双方关系一度紧张。
阿尔派随后就克拉克森的言论发表声明：“阿尔派方面已知悉一名车队客人在奥斯汀近期电视采访中发表的评论。弗朗哥是我们的车手，我们全力支持他。”
二十四小时后，赛后媒体采访区有人向科拉平托本人提起了这件事。
“当然，这和车队没有任何关系，”他说。“他是自己接受采访的，与车队无关。我觉得他一直都只是在开玩笑，我并不真正认识他，但他们是这么告诉我的。”
“他说的话我没怎么看，但我听说杰米（Jamie Campbell-Walter，科拉平托的经纪人）在社交媒体上发了些东西。
“我想，还是尽量专注于我们自己吧。我当然会努力改善现状，但这在某种程度上需要很多人的帮助，而不仅仅是我自己。我们看看最终会怎样，但嗯，我想情况不算最好。”
林德布拉德碰撞导致侧箱和底板受损

科拉平托在奥斯汀的比赛中，于第25圈1号弯与阿尔维德·林德布拉德发生碰撞，比赛因此提前结束，当时小红牛赛车从外侧试图争夺第14位。林德布拉德的左侧箱和科拉平托的右前角相触，导致阿尔派赛车打转，随后退赛。
“皮埃尔（加斯利）刚从维修区出来，我试图把阿尔维德挡在身后，这样皮埃尔就能保持在前面，”科拉平托回忆道。“我们三辆车并排，我被夹在中间，所以赛车完全损坏了。但这就是比赛的一部分。
“整个侧箱和底板都坏了。真遗憾。
“我从后面起步，然后从一开始就真的不顺利。我选择用硬胎，看看能不能做出一些有趣的事情，但我们没能做到。”
“我期待墨西哥站，扭转局面，不再受罚，回到完赛的节奏。”
科拉平托在最近四场大奖赛中退赛三场，他在巴库引发连环撞车，在新加坡遭遇疑似传动系统故障。这与他F1生涯其余比赛的退赛次数一样多。
这位阿尔派车手确实称自己周末的正赛速度“非常强”，因此希望在即将到来的墨西哥和巴西拉丁美洲赛事中取得不错的成绩。

Franco Colapinto responds to Jeremy Clarkson’s controversial comment about him
Clarkson joked that Colapinto deserved a grid penalty for being Argentinian
Franco Colapinto has responded to Jeremy Clarkson’s comment that he would give the Alpine Formula 1 driver a grid penalty for being Argentinian.
Clarkson was a guest of Alpine’s at the United States Grand Prix and gave an interview to Sky Sports F1 on Saturday, in which he joked: “Franco’s got a grid penalty for being Argentinian. Probably. Well, I’d give him one for that. But anyway, that’s just because of what happened when we went there.”
Clarkson was referring to Colapinto’s actual grid penalty for exceeding his power unit parts quota and, most likely, to his Top Gear show’s 2014 Patagonia special. At the time, tensions emerged due to a contentious license plate that Argentinian protesters interpreted as a reference to the Falklands War, cutting the filming short.
Alpine soon issued a statement in response to Clarkson’s comment: “We at Alpine are aware of the comments made by a team guest in a recent television interview in Austin. Franco is our driver and has our full support.”
Twenty-four hours later, the issue was brought up to Colapinto himself in the post-race media pen.
“Of course, it's nothing to do with the team,” he said. “He did an interview on his own, it's nothing related to the team. I think he's always been kind of joking, I don't really know him, but they told me.
“I didn't see too much of what he said, but I heard that Jamie [Campbell-Walter, Colapinto’s manager] put something on social media.
“I guess, just try to focus on ourselves. I try to improve the situation of course, it kind of needs help from a lot of people, not just from me. We'll see how we end up, but yeah, not the best, I guess.”
Sideboard and floor broken by Lindblad collision
Franco Colapinto, Alpine, Arvid Lindblad, Racing Bulls
Colapinto’s Austin race was curtailed by a collision with Arvid Lindblad in Turn 1 on lap 25, with the Racing Bulls going around the outside for 14th position. Lindblad’s left-hand sidepod and Colapinto’s front-right corner touched, sending the Alpine into a spin – and, later on, into retirement.
“Pierre [Gasly] was out of the pits, I was trying to keep Arvid behind, so Pierre could be ahead,” Colapinto recounted. “We were the three of us side by side and I got sandwiched, so I got totally damaged. But it's part of racing.
“The whole sideboard and floor was broken. A pity.
“I started from the back and then it really didn't work from the start. I chose to do it on the hard to see if we could do something interesting, but we couldn't.
“I'm looking forward to Mexico, to turn this around and not do the penalties and go back to finishing races.”
Colapinto has retired from three of the last four grands prix, having caused the Baku pile-up and suffered a suspected driveline issue in Singapore. That was as many retirements as in the rest of his F1 career.
The Alpine driver did describe his race pace as “very strong” over the weekend and is therefore hoping for decent results in the upcoming Latin American races in Mexico and Brazil.
