Colapinto addresses rumors surrounding 2026 Alpine future

When asked whether the rumors of the past few weeks are affecting his ability to focus 100% on driving, the Argentine replied that he is not particularly influenced by them and is solely focused on his performance.

Colapinto said he has been feeling a bit calmer in recent races, considering the improvement in his performance and results, but he is aware that he cannot control the matter of a potential stay at Alpine in 2026.

Colapinto is the only driver, together with Jack Doohan — from whom he inherited the seat starting at the Imola GP — who has yet to score a point this season.

However, the Argentine driver has improved his performance in recent races, achieving a solid eleventh place at Zandvoort, just outside the points.

That race earned him praise from Flavio Briatore, who in previous events had highlighted his negative performance compared to his teammate Pierre Gasly, recently renewed with Alpine.

At Monza, however, he was unable to replicate the Zandvoort result, finishing only seventeenth.
