In short

Spark 1:43 scale model of Colapinto's Alpine A526 No. 43 at the 2026 Chinese GP, where he finished 10th to end a 510-day points drought. Supplied with a 'First Points' pit board.

The 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, held at Shanghai International Circuit on 15 March 2026, gave Alpine one of its most encouraging early-season results. Franco Colapinto crossed the line 10th in car No. 43, with team-mate Pierre Gasly sixth — a double points finish for the BWT Alpine F1 Team with the A526. This Spark 1:43 scale model captures that specific car, on that specific afternoon, and comes with a 'First Points' pit board that makes the occasion explicit.

Colapinto at Shanghai: 510 Days in the Making

Starting 12th on the Shanghai grid, Colapinto worked forward during the race and ran as high as 2nd during a safety car phase. He eventually finished 10th — his first championship point as an Alpine driver, ending a drought that had stretched 510 days. Gasly's concurrent 6th place meant Alpine left China with a double points result. The model includes a 'First Points' pit board referencing that milestone.
