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.

The 21-�𓂃�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 after Williams confirmed he needs to undergo a second medical check-up before Sunday’s grand ღprix.

“During qualifying Franco sustained a signi⛦ficant 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 tomorrow before we will know wh♓ether he is clear to race.

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

G൩iven the brutal nature of Colapinto’s crash, which destroyed three corners of his car, he may be consigned to a pitlane start providing he is d♕eclared fit to race.

It marked the sixth major crash for Williams across the past three events in Mex♔ico, Brazi♑l and Las Vegas.

Williams team principal James Vowles has estimated the cost damage from the recent rebu🙈ilds to be several million dollars.
