Franco Colapinto treated the Imola weekend as a learning experience after replacing Jack Doohan at Alpine. Franco Colapinto ended up 16th among 18 classified finishers on his return to Formula 1 with Alpine in Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Alpine have confirmed that Franco Colapinto is “OK” after his crash in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying resulted in a trip to the medical centre at Imola. Colapinto is making his first appearance of the F1 2025 season at the Emilia Romagna GP this weekend having replaced Jack Doohan as Pierre Gasly’s team-mate earlier this month.

Franco Colapinto has been slapped with a grid penalty – despite crashing out of qualifying for the F1 Imola Grand Prix. The Argentine was penalised for breaking protocol after Yuki Tsunoda ’s high-speed crash.
