Alpine F1 drivers in 2026: Gasly leads the points, Colapinto has the first Alpine score, and the second seat is still described carefully
Alpine's 2026 driver picture is Pierre Gasly plus a conflicting second-name trail in the reporting, with the strongest lineup reference listing Franco Colapinto alongside Gasly. Alpine F1 Team sits sixth in the constructors’ standings on 63 points, Gasly is 10th in the drivers’ standings on 44, and Colapinto has just scored his first Alpine points before Madrid on 2026-09-13. The only caution is the second seat: one Formula 1 press conference snippet names Gasly and Victor Martins in an Alpine context, while a separate lineup ranking points to Gasly and Colapinto.
| Team | Driver | Status in available reporting | Supporting source detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alpine F1 Team | Pierre Gasly | Named in both lineup and live standings context | A 2026 lineup ranking lists Gasly in Alpine’s pairing; Formula1.com live standings place him 10th on 44 points as of 2026-09-06 13:00 UTC |
| Alpine F1 Team | Franco Colapinto | Listed as teammate in lineup ranking and credited with first Alpine points | A 2026 lineup ranking lists Colapinto alongside Gasly; a verified snippet says he scored his first points for Alpine, and his first since the 2024 United States Grand Prix at Williams |
| Alpine F1 Team | Victor Martins | Named alongside Gasly in Formula 1 press conference context | A Formula 1 press conference snippet names Gasly and Martins as Alpine drivers in that setting, which conflicts with the lineup ranking |
What the live numbers say about Alpine
The clearest read on Alpine is that Gasly remains the team’s points reference. Formula1.com’s live championship state dated 2026-09-06 13:00 UTC has Alpine sixth in the constructors’ standings on 63 points, with Gasly 10th in the drivers’ table on 44.
That is the backdrop for Colapinto’s recent step forward. A verified snippet says he scored his first points for Alpine, and that those were his first points since the 2024 United States Grand Prix at Williams.
| Pos | Driver/Constructor | Points | Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Pierre Gasly | 44 | 0 |
| 6 | Alpine F1 Team | 63 | 0 |
Gasly’s broader line in the 2026 lineup ranking explains why he anchors the team’s scoring picture: 177 starts, 1 win, 0 poles and 5 podiums. Colapinto’s listed record is shorter at 26 starts, 0 wins, 0 poles and 0 podiums, which makes his first Alpine points a meaningful marker without overstating the scale of the breakthrough.
Gasly and Colapinto compared
| Driver | Starts | Wins | Poles | Podiums | 2026 live points if available |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pierre Gasly | 177 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 44 |
| Franco Colapinto | 26 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Scored first Alpine points; exact total not confirmed in the brief |
The comparison is straightforward. Gasly brings the established output, and Colapinto has now added a first verified Alpine score to his record.
That is why Alpine’s driver story is best read as a split between a proven scorer and a driver whose case is still forming through live results. The mixed reporting around the second seat should be treated carefully, because the lineup ranking and the press conference reference do not match.
The next race is the Spanish Grand Prix at Madring in Madrid, Spain, scheduled for 2026-09-13 13:00:00Z. That is the next chance to see whether Gasly keeps carrying Alpine’s scoring load and whether Colapinto adds to his first Alpine points.
