Alpine issue Colapinto health update after crash
Alpine recently provided a health update on Franco Colapinto following his testing crash at the Hungaroring, confirming he is okay after the assessment at the on-site medical centre in Hungary.
The team had stayed back at the Hungaroring for a Pirelli tyre test after the previous weekend’s race, but the morning session on day two was disrupted due to Colapinto’s high-speed crash resulting in significant damage to his Alpine car.
Several teams and drivers were participating in the test to assist Pirelli in preparation for the 2026 season’s regulatory changes.
Colapinto’s future at Alpine has been subject to speculation, with his performance and potential driver lineup changes for 2026 coming into question.
Despite the incident during testing, Colapinto had a solid weekend prior, outqualifying Gasly for the second time in 2025 and finishing ahead of him in the race.
