Alpine kicks off our F1 2025 season reviews, as the Enstone-based squad endured a challenging campaign as it looks to make a step forward in 2026.
Alpine had a harsh reality check at the end of the 2025 Formula 1 season, finishing last in the constructors’ championship with only 22 points across 24 races, often being the slowest car on the track.
Despite the disappointing overall performance, the season unveiled a more intricate narrative of calculated risks and the potential of the driver duo.
Pierre Gasly emerged as Alpine’s standout performer, single-handedly securing all 22 championship points, showcasing remarkable skills and decisiveness throughout the season.
Gasly’s remarkable achievements include a daring strategy at Silverstone resulting in a sixth-place finish, underscoring his talent even in dire circumstances.
In contrast, Franco Colapinto’s debut season was challenging, failing to score points but demonstrating glimpses of potential, especially with an 11th place at Zandvoort.
Gasly’s dominance over Colapinto in qualifying and races highlights both his experience and Colapinto’s learning curve, ultimately showing promise for the future despite the rough season for Alpine.
