He Hungary Grand Prix He shows the notable team failures again Alpine Colapinto and Pierre Gaslythe official pilots of the team that last march in the 2025 season of Formula 1, had a Sunday for oblivion at the end of 18 ° and 19 °, respectively. In the case of the native of Pilar, he lost 4 stalls in the start when he was running out of track and resuming already in the last part of the platoon, but it was the problems in boxes that finished ruining his career.
In both stops, the mechanics took excessively to change the gums of their A525 and that difference left it behind in the count. Colapint made an early stop, but took 11.1 seconds, four times more than it usually takes in these situations. Far from leaving that serious mistake, the second and last was 7.2 seconds.

Disaster Chronicle
Since it was confirmed as the head of Alpine in the Emilia-Romaña Grand Prix, Franco Colapint Jack Doohan In the French team. But, since its debut in Icola, the results have not accompanied.
In his first official classification he suffered an accident that conditioned his performance and forced him to start since the last positions. It finished 16.º, without adding points. The same happened in Monaco, where, after a last year, he managed to overcome some positions and crossed the goal in 13. place. Despite that improvement, the points zone was still out of reach. In Spain he classified 19. And ended 15.º, in a race without great shocks, but with the limitations of a car that did not offer answers. In Canada he achieved his best Saturday until then: he classified 12th, even ahead of his partner Pierre Gasly. However, on Sunday he stayed empty -handed after completing 13.º.
Austria brought with him a particularly agitated career. Amid the usual chaos of the Red Bull Ring, Colapint was involved in incidents with Yuki Tsunoda and Oscar Piastri. The touch with the Australian pilot occurred while Colapinto was being surpassed by return, which earned him a penalty of five seconds and one point in his supericance. Despite this, it ended 15.º. The situation became even more complicated in the Grand Prix of Britain. After classifying 20., the team decided to make unauthorized technical changes in its car during the closed park, which forced it from boxes. However, a last minute breakdown left him out even before starting the race: he did not appear to the start.
Present and future?
The statements of Colapint himself reflect his discomfort with the car. “I find it hard to find the rhythm. It is a very different sensation than I had,” he confessed in the midst of a string of adverse results. The lack of confidence in braking and curve inputs has been one of the critical points.
In parallel, Alpine crosses its own internal crisis. After a bleak season start, in which they did not add points during the first three races, the team fell to the bottom of the construction championship. All points that the team achieved since the arrival of Colapinto were contributed by Pierre Gasly, which accumulates 20 units, while the Argentine remains at zero.
Today, the combination between a little competitive car, classification errors, external pressures and lack of results have turned the Franco Colapint season into Alpine into a very steep slope. They still subtract races so that the young Argentine can rewrite his history, but the margin of error shortens career after career.
