  • Alpine’s A526 showed progress at Monza, where both drivers finished in the points.
  • The team is targeting Racing Bulls and fifth place in the constructors’ championship, while Pierre Gasly and Flavio Briatore stressed that a gap remains to the top four.
  • The changes include car improvements, a renewed internal battle and lessons from Franco Colapinto’s mistake.

Monza confirmed that Alpine’s A526 has taken a step forward, with both drivers scoring points. The result has given Franco Colapinto’s team reasons for optimism as it looks toward the final races of the Formula One season.

The immediate target is Racing Bulls and fifth place in the constructors’ championship. Yet Pierre Gasly and Flavio Briatore have kept expectations in check, emphasizing that Alpine still trails the four leading teams.

The progress comes alongside improvements to the car, a new internal contest between the drivers and lessons drawn from the Argentine’s error. The question now is how much of Alpine’s advance can translate into results before the season ends.
