Franco Colapinto was running 11th when the Formula 1 Bahrain Grand Prix finally started on Sunday, following a delay caused by rain, according to Infobae. Max Verstappen held the lead at that point in the race, the outlet reported. The race is being held at Sepang in Malaysia rather than at its traditional venue, a detail noted by TN.
La Nación carried live coverage of Colapinto's race, and Clarin.com published live positions, lap counts and the running result. The start was pushed back because of wet conditions, Infobae reported.
Context around the Argentine driver's weekend came from La Nación, which reported that Colapinto went into qualifying carrying penalties and, in a different role, had a solid practice session while helping his teammate.
Coverage of the event was spread across several Argentine outlets, with La Nación, Infobae, TN and Clarin.com all running live updates on the race and on Colapinto's position in the field.
What to watch next: whether Colapinto can move up from 11th as the race unfolds at Sepang, and how the wet conditions shape the order at the front.
