Overview

  • Renault CEO François Provost used the Monza weekend to confirm the manufacturer will keep Alpine in Formula 1 long term and dismissed sale rumors.
  • Pierre Gasly’s deal was extended to 2028, locking one seat as Alpine plans a decision on the second driver at the end of October or in November.
  • Flavio Briatore told AFP the team wants stability and did not rule out keeping Franco Colapinto, who remains point-less after nine starts for Alpine.
  • Alpine has frozen major 2025 development to concentrate resources on the 2026 car and will switch from Renault to Mercedes power units under the new rules.
  • The team sits last in the 2025 Constructors’ standings on 20 points, all scored by Gasly, with Briatore saying 2026 should bring ‘no excuses’ and potential podiums.
