MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Alpine's Argentine Formula One driver Franco Colapinto has accepted he must obey team orders after defying them in Austin last weekend.
The 22-year-old overtook teammate Pierre Gasly for 17th place in the U.S. Grand Prix despite being told by the team to stay behind the Frenchman. Gasly ended up 19th, behind Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto.
