  "summary": "Pierre Gasly expressed his disappointment after being taken out of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix by teammate Franco Colapinto. According to Motorsport.com, Gasly was seventh when the safety car intervention ended, and he felt \"crushed\" by the incident.\n\nThe incident occurred on lap 36 during the restart, when Colapinto locked up his cold front tires on the low-grip inside line into Turn 1 and collided with Gasly, also collecting McLaren driver Lando Norris. Colapinto apologized for the mistake, stating he was \"out of control completely\" due to cold tires and brakes.\n\nYahoo Sports reported that Colapinto was \"devastated\" by the damage he caused and apologized to his team, Gasly, and Norris. Gasly was reportedly \"very upset\" but Colapinto planned to speak with him again. The incident cost Alpine a significant points haul, as both drivers were in the top 10.",
