Overview
- Colapinto qualified 19th for the Sprint and 17th for the main race but started both from the pit lane after rear-wing modifications.
- He ran the Sprint on soft tyres as the only driver on that compound, suffered rapid degradation and finished 19th.
- Pierre Gasly also began the Sprint from the pit lane and retired after two laps when a water leak forced him out.
- Alpine remains last in the constructors’ standings on 19 points—all scored by Gasly—while Colapinto has now gone seven races without a point.
- With no midseason upgrades on its A525 chassis, Alpine has secured a 15% increase in aerodynamic testing time to guide technical and strategic changes before Hungary.
