Colapinto was assessed at the on-track medical centre and released after being cleared by medics. His condition was described as \u201cokay\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the accident, Colapinto shared the circuit with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/charles-leclerc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Charles Leclerc<\/a> in the Ferrari. His Alpine team mate Pierre Gasly was due to take over running in the A525 in the afternoon session.<\/p>\n<p>The test is being run to support Pirelli\u2019s development of their tyre compounds for the 2026 season, which will see a swathe of technical regulations changes with drastically different cars. Both Alpine and Ferrari were running so-called \u2018mule\u2019 cars, modified to try and better simulate the performance dynamics expected from next year\u2019s cars.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s first day of the test saw Alpine participate along with McLaren and Racing Bulls. Sunday\u2019s race winner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/lando-norris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lando Norris<\/a> took part for McLaren, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/liam-lawson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Liam Lawson<\/a> also running a full day in the Racing Bulls car. Alpine reserve driver Paul Aron drove the modified Alpine over the day, setting the quickest time of the day with a 1\u201918.789 and covering 159 laps, the most of the three drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Colapinto has participated in seven grands prix in 2025 after taking over from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/jack-doohan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jack Doohan<\/a> who he replaced for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola. The 22-year-old has so far failed to score a point over those seven race weekends, achieving a best finish of 13th in both the Monaco and Canadian rounds. His team mate Gasly has scored 13 points over that same span.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-above-ad\">Advert | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/contribute-racefans\/racefans-supporter\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Formula 1<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.racefans.net\/category\/formula-1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Browse all Formula 1 articles<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pirelli\u2019s tyre test at the Hungaroring has been disrupted after Alpine driver Franco Colapinto suffered a crash during&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,1036,82],"class_list":["post-49459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-franco-colapinto","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
