Alpine’s eye-catching post with Colapinto ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix | OneFootball

Formula 1 resumes activity this weekend and the French team recalled a hilarious moment starring the Argentine driver.

Formula 1 returns this weekend for the Singapore Grand Prix, an event that featured a particular incident involving Franco Colapinto and Alpine last year, and the team made a hilarious post about it on their social media.

In 2024, the Argentine, who at that time was racing for Williams, mistakenly stopped at the French team’s pit box instead of the British team’s. “You can’t park here, sir. A memory from last year when Franco Colapinto made his first visit to our box”, the team posted.

However, it didn’t happen during the race, but rather in the first practice session, when the crew then indicated for him to move forward. The incident did not go unnoticed, as Alpine took the opportunity to make a joke about it on their social media.

The Singapore circuit is known for its physical demands, due to the challenging weather conditions. The high humidity, which exceeds 70%, and temperatures ranging from 24°C to 31°C—which rise to 60°C inside the car—create significant adversity when facing the race.

Colapinto’s future is still up in the air and every remaining race this season will be key for him to stay in the discipline. However, The New York Times supported the Argentine: “Of the three internal candidates, Colapinto seems to be the most likely option, but he needs to avoid costly accidents, stay close to Gasly in terms of pace, and show signs of improvement.”

This Friday, October 3, the day will start with practice sessions one and two. The third will take place Saturday morning, prior to qualifying. Finally, on Sunday the 5th, the race will start at 9 a.m.
