Overview

• Franco Colapinto crashed heavily during a post-race Pirelli tyre test at the Hungaroring and was declared uninjured after on-site medical checks.
• Pirelli Motorsport chief Mario Isola ruled out any tyre-related fault in the high-speed collision.
• Colapinto remains the only Alpine driver without points in 2025 and his on-track mishaps complicate the team’s development under the budget cap.
• Advisor Flavio Briatore has reportedly engaged with Valtteri Bottas and is considering Sergio Perez as veteran alternatives.
• Alpine sits last in the constructors’ standings and has deferred most 2025 upgrades as it readies a switch to Mercedes power units for 2026.
