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.

Clarkson pledges beer to Alpine after Gasly's historic Monza pole

Jeremy Clarkson promised the Alpine F1 team a supply of Hawkstone beer if Pierre Gasly converts his surprise Italian Grand Prix pole position into a victory. Gasly secured his maiden pole at Monza, edging George Russell by 0.060 seconds in a tightly contested qualifying session. This achievement follows a turbulent week for Alpine, which had its Monaco podium result overturned by the FIA International Court of Appeal. Clarkson, whose farm is near Alpine's Enstone headquarters, has previously honored similar bets with the team, including delivering 1,000 bottles of beer after Esteban Ocon's 2023 Monaco podium. Gasly described the pole as a culmination of nine years of effort, noting the significance of the circuit where he won his first race in 2020. While Alpine is currently sixth in the constructors' championship, the result offers a potential challenge to the season's dominant Mercedes, though converting pole to victory remains difficult given Mercedes' race pace.
