Overview

• Alpine sits bottom of the 2025 constructors’ standings with zero points scored by either Franco Colapinto or Pierre Gasly after eight races.
• Colapinto reached Q2 and qualified 14th at the Hungarian Grand Prix but dropped to 18th after a poor start and pit stops that cost a combined 19 seconds.
• Pierre Gasly criticized Alpine’s pace as “too slow” following another points-free weekend in Hungary.
• F1 regulations bar wind-tunnel work, CFD simulations and component development during the summer break, locking teams out of hardware upgrades.
• Colapinto plans to focus on simulator training and coaching during the shutdown to address his adaptation challenges and return stronger.
