A dramatic Safety Car restart at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix saw Alpine’s Franco Colapinto lock up into Turn 1, taking out teammate Pierre Gasly and McLaren’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.
