Overview

  • Alpine’s executive ranks have explicitly ruled out any limit on Colapinto’s race entries, with a “12 down, 12 to go” post confirming his seat for the remaining 12 events of 2025.
  • Colapinto remains the only driver yet to score points after six Grand Prix starts, including a Silverstone DNF caused by a mechanical failure.
  • The Alpine A525’s rigid chassis and unpredictable tire behavior have been cited as a major hurdle to Colapinto’s adaptation and performance.
  • Alpine sits last in the Constructors’ Championship with 19 points, all scored by Pierre Gasly, and has ruled out any in-season upgrades for its car.
  • Colapinto is set to make his Sprint race debut at Spa-Francorchamps during the Belgian Grand Prix weekend under full team backing.
