Franco Colapinto Sets Record for Longest DNF‑Free Streak in Formula 1

Argentine driver Franco Colapinto extended his streak without a race retirement to more than 500 days, the longest active run among current Formula 1 drivers. The record, achieved after George Russell’s earlier departure from the list, highlights Colapinto’s consistency in the Alpine A526, where he has completed every Grand Prix he has started since his debut in 2025.

The streak, which began after his last Did‑Not‑Finish at the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, includes 22 consecutive finishes and a sixth‑place result at the Canadian Grand Prix. It underscores the driver’s careful car management and highlights Alpine’s progress with the team’s newest chassis.
