Overview

• Alpine announced the multi-year agreement at Monza, confirming Pierre Gasly as the driver to lead the team into the new regulations.
• The team sits last in the 2025 constructors’ standings after 15 races, with all 20 of its points scored by Gasly.
• Alpine has curtailed major 2025 updates to focus resources on its 2026 car and will switch from Renault power to customer Mercedes engines.
• Executive advisor Flavio Briatore framed Gasly’s deal as central to the rebuild, and Steve Nielsen took up his new leadership role at the Italian Grand Prix.
• The second seat is undecided for 2026, with Franco Colapinto earning recent praise for consistency and set to be assessed over the next four to five races before a decision targeted by November.
