Overview

• Franco Colapinto will start his Italian GP weekend from FP2 after ceding FP1 to reserve driver Paul Aron.
• Alpine’s official Dutch GP analysis said Colapinto finished 0.448 seconds from a point and acknowledged that Pierre Gasly’s race plan did not work.
• Media reports reconstructed team radio instructing Gasly to let Colapinto through, with a one-lap delay that limited Colapinto’s chance to attack for P10.
• Colapinto argued the team did not help each other in Zandvoort, and Alpine subsequently published a community code urging respectful conduct on its channels.
• Aron, 21, will make his first FP1 in the A525 after earlier FP1 outings with Sauber, fulfilling FIA requirements for rookie sessions per car.
