IMOLA, Italy (Reuters) -Alpine's Argentine rookie Franco Colapinto was handed a one-place grid drop for Sunday's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix for a pit lane infringement before he crashed out of qualifying.

The 21-year-old, who has replaced dropped Australian Jack Doohan at the Renault-owned team, crashed at the end of the first phase of qualifying but was listed as 15th on the timesheets.

Stewards summoned the driver after the session for entering the fast lane in the pit lane before a restart time was confirmed following a red-flag period.
