Overview

• Alpine left Monza with no points after Pierre Gasly finished 16th and Franco Colapinto 17th, with reports estimating a 20–30 horsepower shortfall versus rivals and the team rooted to the bottom of the constructors’ standings.
• Team radio instructed Colapinto to cede position to Gasly in the closing laps, a call highlighted in fresh coverage as difficult to justify given the lack of points on offer.
• Post‑race F1 TV footage showed Gasly cutting power on Colapinto’s stopped car, an action explained as switching off a car left on by mistake and one that drew no sanction.
• Colapinto briefly paused during the press conference with Alpine attributing the moment to overheating; he resumed interviews and was cleared.
• FIA penalties after the race delayed official classification, while Alpine figures emphasized a development pivot toward 2026 as attention shifts to Baku, where Colapinto scored his first F1 points in 2024.
