Alpine has confirmed that Franco Colapinto crashed on the second
day of a Pirelli tyre test at the Hungaroring, following on from
last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. The Enstone-based outfit
revealed on its social platforms that the Argentinian crashed at
the high-speed Turn 11 right-hand corner. Following the accident,
Alpine has stated that Colapinto visited the circuit medical centre
for assessment but is OK. An Alpine statement read: "During Day 2
of Pirelli Tyre Testing at the Hungaroring this morning, Franco
Colapinto had an incident at Turn 11. Franco was assessed on site
at the medical centre and is OK." Colapinto has struggled since
replacing Jack Doohan from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, and has
consistently found himself towards the bottom of the timesheets.
Pierre Gasly's been responsible for all 20 of Alpine's points this
season, leaving the outfit at the bottom of the constructors'
standings. However, in a small boost for Colapinto, he
out-qualified Gasly in Hungary and finished a place ahead of him in
the race in 18th.
