Read more Alpine have issued a comprehensive 1,200-word statement firmly rejecting accusations that they have been deliberately undermining Franco Colapinto's performance to favour his teammate Pierre Gasly.The Formula One outfit moved to quash the sabotage rumours whilst simultaneously defending their Argentine driver against a torrent of online abuse."Franco is our driver and the team has placed its trust in him, just as he has with the team," the statement read."That is an indication of the commitment we have to Franco and his place in the team with equal footing alongside Pierre." TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The team described any suggestions of sabotage or providing Colapinto with inferior machinery as "completely unfounded."The disparity in results between the two drivers has been stark during the opening phase of the 2026 campaign.Gasly currently occupies eighth position in the drivers' championship, having accumulated 15 points across the three completed races this season.By contrast, Colapinto has managed to secure just a solitary point, though the 24-year-old is embarking on his maiden full campaign in the sport's top tier.His French teammate, meanwhile, has competed in Formula One since 2017.The sabotage allegations appear to have originated from last month's Chinese Grand Prix, where Gasly crossed the line in seventh place whilst Colapinto trailed home in tenth, some 49 seconds adrift of his more experienced colleague.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Pub staff speak out on World Cup matches, bringing the country together and work involved to create moments of magicLuke Littler gives immediate reaction to explosive Gian van Veen Premier League rowTiger Woods 'called Donald Trump after car crash' as conversations with police emergeAlpine confirmed that both Colapinto and Gasly have been "running with the same equipment, barring some small low-performance impacting parts in China due to switching gearbox components."The team's decision to speak publicly was prompted in part by the wave of online hostility directed at Colapinto following his involvement in Oliver Bearman's high-speed accident during the Japanese Grand Prix.Looking ahead, Alpine acknowledged that development pressures may occasionally mean upgrades reach one car before the other during the season.However, the team pledged complete transparency regarding any such situations and emphasised that their objective would always be to provide both drivers with identical machinery wherever feasible.The statement also provided insight into the working relationship between the two drivers, detailing how Colapinto and Gasly collaborate within the team structure.Additionally, Alpine addressed the separate incident involving Esteban Ocon, noting that the driver accepted responsibility for his collision with Colapinto at the Chinese Grand Prix.The team will next take to the track when the championship resumes in Miami during the first weekend of May.The American race takes on added significance following the cancellation of both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia rounds, which were scrapped due to the ongoing conflict affecting the Middle East region.

Read more Генеральный секретарь СНГ Сергей Лебедев подчеркнул важность использования потенциала организации как основы интеграции на евразийском пространстве. По его словам, СНГ служит фундаментом для развития различных объединений на территории Евразии и обеспечивает плотный политический диалог, а также сотрудничество в сферах безопасности, гуманитарных и культурных связей, передает ТАСС.«СНГ следует воспринимать как базовую основу всей евразийской интеграции, на которой строятся разные объединения. В сложной архитектуре Евразии именно Содружество обеспечивает широкий контур политического диалога, сотрудничества в сфере безопасности, гуманитарных и культурных связей», – сказал Лебедев на пленарном заседании Международного экономического форума СНГ, посвященного 35-летию организации и развитию большого Евразийского партнерства.Он также отметил, что дальнейшая динамика развития интеграционных объединений напрямую зависит от того, насколько эффективно государства смогут использовать потенциал СНГ как своеобразной «лаборатории интеграции».Ранее генсек СНГ допустил возвращение Украины в организацию.
