Overview
- Franco Colapinto is running for Alpine at the Montecarlo street circuit and will take part in the weekend’s full practice program before qualifying and the 78-lap race.
- Friday practice is set to include FP1 from 8:30 and FP2 from 12:00 Argentina time, with a third session and qualifying to follow on Saturday and the race on Sunday.
- Colapinto arrives in positive form after career-best finishes of seventh in Miami and sixth in Canada, results that have raised his profile within the team.
- Alpine advisor Flavio Briatore met Colapinto in Monaco and posted about delivering the driver’s new Alpine A390, a visible sign of team backing and promotional focus.
- The Montecarlo layout rewards qualifying and clean laps because its narrow, wall-lined streets make overtaking hard, a factor that will shape Alpine’s approach and Colapinto’s weekend prospects while Kimi Antonelli leads the drivers’ standings and Mercedes tops the constructors’ table.
