Colapinto was participating in a test day organized by Pirelli at the wheel of an A525 single-seater adapted to the 2026 regulations, which had been driven on Monday by Estonian Paul Aron, the team's reserve driver. Additionally, Alpine took the opportunity to conduct a TPC (Test of Previous Cars) with the 2023 model, the A523.
Interrupted plans
In this second car, Pierre Gasly was at the wheel, with the idea that later he would swap seats with Colapinto. For now, it hasn't been confirmed whether the Argentine driver will be able to resume activity or if the A525 can be repaired in time for Gasly to use it as well.
This Wednesday, Alpine shares the track with Ferrari, which has Charles Leclerc testing a modified SF-25. Yesterday, in addition to the French team (which completed 159 laps with Aron), McLaren with Lando Norris (144 laps) and Racing Bulls with Liam Lawson (143 laps) also ran.
