In the latest Formula 1 race, French driver Esteban Ocon finished in eleventh place, while Pierre Gasly ended up in thirteenth position, unable to score points. The race winner was Verstappen from Red Bull, followed by Lando Norris from McLaren and Sergio "Checo" Pérez also from Red Bull.
Alpine will seek to improve their performance at the Chinese Grand Prix to earn their first points of the 2025 season. In the last race, Gasly was close to scoring points, and Australian Jack Doohan completed the race. Meanwhile, reserve driver Colapinto continues his development in search of opportunities in the highest category of motorsport.
In the same race, Nico Hülkenberg finished in twelfth position, being the best positioned, while Jolyon Palmer could not get close to the points. The race winner was Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes, followed by Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari and Max Verstappen from Red Bull.
In the 2018 edition at the Shanghai Circuit, Renault had a good performance with Hülkenberg in sixth place and Carlos Sainz Jr. in ninth position. The winner of that race was Daniel Ricciardo from Red Bull, followed by Valtteri Bottas from Mercedes and Kimi Räikkönen from Ferrari.
In 2019, Ricciardo scored points for Renault with a seventh place, while Hülkenberg could not finish the race. The victory went to Hamilton from Mercedes, with Bottas and Vettel completing the podium.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Formula 1 did not compete in China from 2020 to 2023. In 2024, the Chinese Grand Prix marked the return of the race to the calendar, with a complicated performance from the Alpine team.
In the 2025 season, Formula 1 continues its journey with the Chinese Grand Prix, where Alpine will seek to improve their performance on a circuit that has historically not favored them. In 2017, when Alpine still competed as Renault, the team could not score points at the Shanghai Circuit.
