Colapinto clocked most laps in Hungary testing: how far off best time | OneFootball

Franco Colapinto concluded his participation in the Pirelli tests held at the Hungaroring with another very busy day. The Alpine driver completed 139 laps, the highest total among the participants, and wrapped up the Formula 1 tests ahead of the summer break with a significant contribution to the development of the tires set to debut in 2027.

Beyond the lap times, the focus was on gathering information for the Italian manufacturer. During the test, different setups of the C3, C4, and C5 compounds were evaluated through qualifying simulations and long runs of up to 16 laps, with the aim of collecting data for the future technical regulations.

Gabriel Bortoleto posted the fastest time on Wednesday, although the gap was minimal. The Brazilian, who worked alongside Audi, set a time of 1m19.917s after completing 116 laps and covering 508 kilometers. The Argentine responded with a best lap of 1m20.139s, just 0.222 seconds behind, after covering 609 kilometers.

Overall, the result left Alpine’s representative with an outstanding workload. On Tuesday, he had been the fastest of the three drivers present, ahead of Bortoleto himself and Jak Crawford, who took part with Aston Martin. Across both days, he totaled 267 laps and 1,170 kilometers, a very valuable figure for the development program.
