Alpine weighs response after Colapinto crash ends Baku race for both cars

Alpine is evaluating potential disciplinary action against Franco Colapinto after his crash at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix eliminated both team cars and a McLaren. The incident, which occurred on lap 36 following a safety car restart, resulted in a five-place grid penalty for Colapinto at the next race. While Alpine boss Flavio Briatore criticized the move as 'very poor' for an experienced driver, race winner George Russell and Max Verstappen argued that a race ban would be too severe for what they viewed as a small mistake with big consequences. The crash also widened Alpine's gap in the constructors' championship to 15 points behind Racing Bulls, prompting Gasly to express deep disappointment over the lost opportunity to score points.

Alpine chief Briatore demands accountability after Colapinto's Baku crash

Alpine executive Flavio Briatore publicly criticized Franco Colapinto for a late-race crash at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix that eliminated both Alpine cars and a McLaren. The incident occurred on lap 36 after a safety car restart, where Colapinto locked his front tires on the dusty Baku circuit and collided with teammate Pierre Gasly, also taking out Lando Norris. Briatore called the move 'very poor' for a driver of Colapinto's experience and indicated he would review the situation to prevent future incidents, despite Colapinto having recently secured a 2027 contract extension.

Gasly lands surprise Monza pole, edging Russell by 0.060s

Pierre Gasly claimed a stunning pole at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, beating George Russell by 0.060 seconds for Alpine, with Oscar Piastri third and Ferrari’s Leclerc and Hamilton fourth and fifth. Max Verstappen was sixth and Lando Norris ninth after a challenging session. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli will start at the back due to a grid penalty for a new engine. Gasly’s pole follows Alpine upgrades and comes after the FIA Court of Appeal reinstated a Monaco penalty, marking the first Frenchman on pole at Monza since 1997.

Alpine Solar Wall Delivers Winter Power, but Swiss Regulation Stalls the Next Wave

Switzerland’s Muttsee dam hosts 4,872 solar modules on its south face, delivering a surprisingly strong winter share of annual output (43% of energy in the cold half) thanks to altitude and a steep tilt, but a five‑foot gap to the concrete is left so inspectors can map cracks—limiting the rear-face (bifacial) gain to about 1.5%. The project, funded by Axpo/IWB under the Solar Express regime, shows that site conditions and the regulatory framework largely determine alpine solar viability, with many such projects stalled or canceled despite measured performance that exceeds a valley reference plant.

AMR26B Set to Reorder the 2027 F1 Driver Lineup

Motorsport.com argues Aston Martin’s heavily revised AMR26B could be a watershed for the 2027 driver market: if the car starts delivering, Fernando Alonso is likely to stay through 2027 and the Honda-powered project could finally bear fruit; if it doesn’t meet expectations, Alonso could move back to Alpine, triggering a domino effect that might see Williams court Franco Colapinto and Aston Martin consider replacements such as Carlos Sainz or Esteban Ocon, with Sainz’s Audi links and Hulkenberg’s long contract complicating deals. In short, the AMR26B’s performance could shape the grid more than any single deal this season.
