Franco Colapinto, racing for Alpine in the 2025 Formula 1 season, faced a challenging weekend at the British Grand Prix held at Silverstone. Despite starting the weekend well and showing competitive pace compared to teammate Pierre Gasly, Colapinto was unable to advance past the first qualifying session (Q1) after losing control of his car exiting the final corner, which led to him touching the curb and losing the car. Expressing frustration and sadness, Colapinto acknowledged the difficulties Alpine has been experiencing on this track. The situation worsened on race day when Colapinto's Alpine encountered mechanical problems that prevented him from starting the race. This marked his first race abandonment since joining Alpine. The team had to withdraw his car before the start, leaving Colapinto disappointed and uncertain about the cause of the failure. Throughout the weekend, Colapinto conveyed his determination to continue working hard despite the setbacks.
