Williams say Franco Colapinto needs a further medical evaluation to be passed fit to race after suffering a 50G crash in F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying.

T꧃he 21-year-old Argentinian sustained significant damage to his FW46 after a huge shunt at the penultimate corner on his final lap of qualifying, leaving him out in Q2 and 14th on the grid.

But Colapinto is not guaranteed to take part in the race🐽 ౠafter Williams confirmed he needs to undergo a second medical check-up before Sunday’s grand prix.

“During qualifying Fr♎anco sustained a s꧃ignificant impact of over 50G, requiring a medical check up,” a Williams team statement said.

“An impact of this magnitude is obviously significant and severe and he will need to be evaluated again tomor♑row before we will know whether he is clear to race.

“Franco’s health is all that matters 🔯and we are glad he is otherwise okay. We will provide further updates when we can.”

Given the brutal n⭕ature of Colapinto’s crash, which destroyed three co𒆙rners of his car, he may be consigned to a pitlane start providing he is declared fit to race.

It marked the sixth𝓰 major crash for Williams across the past three events in Mexi🦩co, Brazil and Las Vegas.

Williams team principal James 🃏Vowles has estimated the cost damage from the recent rebuilds to be several million dollars.
