🚨 | IMPORTANT: According to @FredericFerret, Alpine is set to redesign the geometry of its rear suspension in 2027. Alpine also invested in 2024 in a new gearbox dyno (@wearetherace). Alpine could well be producing its own rear suspension and gearbox for 2027.

🚨 | Alpine has reached the limit of its ‘budget cap’ for 2026, which is why they can no longer introduce new parts to the car until the end of the year. (@VIGNERONGAETAN)

☀️ | Temperatures are expected to be around 25 degrees for qualifying and the race this weekend in Mexico, which are good conditions for Alpine. 👍 The biggest challenge will be cooling the engine, as there is less air due to the altitude.

🚨 | Paul Aron was spotted this weekend in Austin with Dan Towriss, CEO of Cadillac F1! (@LucianoYoma)

This weekend will be the first time the 2026 cars race at a track at such a high altitude (Mexico🇲🇽, 2,285 meters above sea level). Brakes, engines, everything will be harder to cool. The systems will be pushed to their limits. Reliability will be the number one priority.

The Race's rankings for the Alpine drivers at the #USGP: 🇫🇷 Gasly - A 🟢 🇦🇷 Colapinto - F 🔴

🚨 | There will be 3 straight mode zones in Mexico🇲🇽 Alpine could be a real rocketship on the straights in Mexico if they bring back their "reversed" rear wing. The low air density reduces drag on the straights.

Colapinto on J.Clarkson: "He did an interview on his own, it's nothing related to the team. I think he's always been kind of joking, I don't really know him, but they told me. I try to improve the situation of course, it kind of needs help from a lot of people, not just from me"

Franco Colapinto has had four DNFs in his last five races (including sprint races). This is the largest number of DNFs in such a short period at Enstone since Hulkenberg's (2017, Renault). Prior to that, he had the longest streak without a DNF since Abu Dhabi 2024. 😓

If David Sanchez does indeed leave Alpine, the Alpine A527 will largely be Jason Sommerville’s car. He was the aerodynamics designer for the 2026 regulations at the FIA (joined Alpine in May). Mike Elliott has only just arrived, so he won’t have an immediate impact.

🚨 | Rumors regarding David Sanchez’s departure from Alpine seem to be growing stronger in France... This follows the failure to reach the target of 5th place in the Constructors' Championship.

🚨 | Mercedes’ new ADUO engine is expected to arrive in Brazil. The problem is that if Alpine decides to use it, Gasly and Colapinto will receive grid penalties.
