There has been talk in Formula 1 about the return of the Argentine Grand Prix.

      During the São Paulo Grand Prix, Alpine extended Franco Colapinto's contract. Knowledgeable about Formula 1's business processes, British journalist Joe Saward writes that this move could be another link in the project to bring back the Argentine Grand Prix.

      "The news that Colapinto remains at Alpine has increased talk of a possible return of Argentina to the Formula 1 calendar in 2028," Savard writes. "The country is notorious for its economic instability, but recently the situation has stabilized thanks to the policies of President Javier Milei.

      It is worth noting that a plan to redevelop the Buenos Aires circuit has already been drawn up and $110 million has been allocated for the work. All this is part of preparations to host a MotoGP round in 2027. MotoGP is currently owned by Liberty Media, and negotiations are underway that after modernization the circuit could be further upgraded in time for a Formula 1 round in 2028.

      The circuit will be closed at the end of the month, and work will begin, including the demolition of existing pit buildings and the construction of new facilities. The project is being overseen by Formula 1's regular architect, Hermann Tilke.

      The idea of holding a Formula 1 round makes a lot of sense, as it could be combined with the race in São Paulo, significantly reducing transport costs and giving the championship organisers two races for the price of one."

"There were no employees present on site at that time." French authorities are probing a perplexing break-in at Alpine’s Viry-Chatillon facility, amid increasing suspicion that the incident may have been a case of industrial espionage. The unusual intrusion, first reported by Le Parisien, took place late on Monday night around 10 PM, when two unidentified individuals gained entry by breaking a window. As per police sources cited by French media, the intruders proceeded directly upstairs toward the management and executive offices, forcing open several internal doors before exiting the building only a few minutes later. Importantly, it appears that nothing was taken. "Nothing was stolen. Everything is fine. There were no employees present on site at that time," a source close to Alpine informed Le Parisien. The Evry public prosecutor confirmed that an investigation is currently in progress. Security footage and fingerprints are being examined, but no arrests have been made as of now. With theft ruled out, Le Parisien noted: "All other possibilities are being explored, including industrial espionage." L’Equipe pointed out the unusual timing and location: the historic Viry site is no longer involved in designing Alpine’s F1 power units, as the team will be using customer Mercedes engines starting in 2026. Many of the engine staff have already moved to other locations, including Ferrari. French media also noted that the intruders seemed to know precisely where they were headed, going directly to the senior offices before quickly exiting through a side door. Alpine has not made any public statements beyond confirming the occurrence of the incident. "There were no employees present on site at that time."
