Alpine endured another dismal weekend at F1’s Mexico City GP, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto reduced to propping up the order once again.
Alpine had a tough weekend at the Mexico City Grand Prix in Formula 1, as Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto finished at the back of the pack once again. Gasly started 18th and Colapinto 20th after a difficult qualifying at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, setting the tone for their race pace struggles. Despite strong starts, both drivers fell behind, finishing in 19th and 20th, a lap down on the leaders, showing a lack of competitiveness in the midfield. Alpine’s focus on 2026 rule changes has led to a lack of development on the A525, leaving Gasly frustrated by the team’s strategy decisions in the last two races. Gasly acknowledged the widening gap between Alpine and other midfield teams, hoping for rain to provide a chance for improvement at the upcoming Brazil Grand Prix. Faced with ongoing challenges, Gasly is looking forward to a brighter future for Alpine beyond the current struggles.
