Alpine condemn Clarkson's comment on Colapinto

Alpine Formula 1 team has condemned remarks made by Jeremy Clarkson, 65, who suggested Argentine driver Franco Colapinto deserved his 10-place grid penalty at the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas because of his nationality. Clarkson made the comments to Sky Sports' Martin Brundle while attending the race as an Alpine guest, appearing to reference a 2014 incident in Patagonia linked to the Falklands War. Alpine issued a statement distancing themselves from Clarkson's views, stating they do not align with the team's values of kindness and respect.
