That introduced out the pink flag for the third time (the primary was to clear particles whereas the second was required to clear Leclerc’s stricken Ferrari and restore the barrier).
Colapinto was labeled sixteenth, a fraction forward of Alex Albon who had a bit of journey down the escape street at Flip 4 however saved it out of the boundaries.
