Alpine will run its planned driver lineup at the Malaysian Grand Prix, with Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly both racing as normal. Team adviser Flavio Briatore will not stand Colapinto down after recent internal friction, with reporting describing the mood at the team as 'business as usual' following a cooling of tempers ahead of the race weekend.

Why now: Reports of internal discord at Alpine, involving Briatore and Colapinto, had raised speculation the driver could be dropped for the Malaysian Grand Prix.
