A dramatic Safety Car restart at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix saw Alpineโ€™s Franco Colapinto lock up into Turn 1, taking out teammate Pierre Gasly and McLarenโ€™s Lando Norris. The costly collision wiped out a double points finish for Enstone and drew sharp criticism from executive advisor Flavio Briatore. With a 5-place grid penalty locked in for the next round in Malaysia and internal reviews underway, Alpine must now navigate accountability, championship pressure, and driver morale.
