Colapinto is the second driver to crash during Q1 at Imola after Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda was sent to the medical center for precautionary checks following a horrific crash which saw his RB21 flip. Gabriel Bortoleto, Liam Lawson, Nico Hulkenberg, Esteban Ocon, and Yuki Tsunoda were eliminated in Q1.

Franco Colapinto’s much-anticipated return to Formula 1 didn’t go as planned. In his first qualifying session of the season, the Argentine driver, now with Alpine, suffered a terrifying crash during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola —an accident so violent it left fans and teams holding their breath.

Alpine have confirmed that Franco Colapinto is “OK” after his crash in Emilia Romagna Grand Prix qualifying resulted in a trip to the medical centre at Imola. Colapinto is making his first appearance of the F1 2025 season at the Emilia Romagna GP this weekend having replaced Jack Doohan as Pierre Gasly’s team-mate earlier this month.
