Overview

• Alpine sits bottom of the constructors' standings on 20 points, all scored by Pierre Gasly.
• F1’s assessment says the A525 lacks the performance to compete and highlights organizational instability after team boss Oli Oakes departed.
• Gasly leads the head-to-heads over Jack Doohan and Franco Colapinto, with a season-best sixth place and a Shanghai disqualification for underweight.
• F1 clarified Franco Colapinto’s loaned status from Williams, with his role beyond 2025 unresolved as Flavio Briatore said the seat could be decided race by race.
• The team is orienting efforts toward 2026, planning a switch to Mercedes power with Steve Nielsen set to become director general, while outside analysis urges greater support for Colapinto.
