This was reported by L'Équipe, La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Franco Colapinto, a driver for the Alpine team, was involved in an accident during Pirelli tire tests on the Hungaroring track on August 6. The incident occurred at the 11th corner, where he lost control of the car, resulting in significant damage to the vehicle.

After the accident, Colapinto was taken to a medical center for evaluation. According to the team's information, the driver did not sustain serious injuries and is feeling well. Alpine confirmed that the accident happened during the second testing session.

This incident occurred after Estonian driver Paul Aron, who is a reserve driver for the team, showed the best time in previous tests. Colapinto, who replaced Jake Hughes in the team, has not yet scored any points this season. His performances have been overshadowed by several accidents, which may impact the team's development due to budget constraints.
