FIA confirms Alpine findings after ‘extensive’ Pierre Gasly inspection

The FIA confirmed that Pierre Gasly's Alpine car complied with the F1 2026 regulations following a thorough inspection after the Dutch Grand Prix. Gasly finished 10th in that race, contributing to his eighth points finish of the season, and he also scored points in the Sprint race. The inspection was part of routine checks for cars finishing in the top ten, focusing on electronic devices and software compliance.

Alpine has shown improvement in the 2026 season, currently sitting sixth in the constructors' standings. Gasly's performance includes a notable third-place finish in Monaco, which is under review by the FIA's International Court of Appeal. The team has announced that Gasly will continue alongside Franco Colapinto for the next season.
