Franco Colapinto, the 22-year-old Alpine Formula 1 driver, suffered a crash during a Pirelli tire testing session at the Hungaroring circuit in Hungary on August 6, 2025. The accident occurred at turn 11, one of the fastest corners on the track, where Colapinto lost control of his car, resulting in a violent off-track incident that destroyed his vehicle. Following the crash, Colapinto was taken to the track medical center as a precaution but was confirmed to have no serious injuries. He later received medical clearance and was seen entering Alpine's hospitality area. Alpine issued a statement regarding the incident, emphasizing the driver's condition and the circumstances of the crash. The testing session was part of private tire trials conducted by Pirelli. The accident was widely reported with videos showing the damaged car and Colapinto post-accident. Separately, Frédéric Vasseur was noted for his leadership role at Scuderia Ferrari, though unrelated to the crash.
