Colapinto and Gasly 2027 talk remains unconfirmed

News - 2026-09-16 - By Jenny Marsh

Reports about an Alpine 2027 line-up with Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly remain unconfirmed, with available sources offering no team announcement.

Reports linking Alpine with a 2027 line-up of Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly remain unconfirmed. None of the supplied sources includes a team announcement or a direct report that Alpine has signed Colapinto for 2027, so the claim cannot be stated as fact.

What is supported is recent context around the two drivers. Motorsport.com reported that Colapinto said studying Gasly’s Monza qualifying performance helped his own progress, and that he reached Q3 before finishing seventh at the Spanish Grand Prix. Colapinto is 12th in the 2026 drivers' championship on 27 points after 36 Formula 1 starts, with a best finish of sixth.

Pierre Gasly is 10th in the 2026 standings on 41 points. The French driver has 187 Formula 1 entries, one win and six podiums. Until Alpine confirms any future line-up, any suggestion that the pair are locked in together for 2027 should be treated as unconfirmed.
