Stroll, a driver who would be welcomed by any team in Formula 1, showed his support for the great F1 project developed by his wealthy father, Lance Stroll. It all started with a collection of karts for young Lance to dominate his peers. From there, his father bought several youth league teams, eventually leading to the creation of an F1 team. Now, this F1 dream has become a major automotive venture for Lawrence’s son to live out his racing aspirations.
Surprisingly, Fernando Alonso praised Stroll’s decision, despite the fact that the talented 25-year-old has been pushing the 42-year-old Spaniard to excel. Stroll’s contract is reportedly long-term, with a ten-year extension option as long as he scores at least one point per season.
Regardless of the circumstances, one can imagine Lawrence, the “Best Dad in the World,” feeling immense relief that his son did not turn his back on him, considering the high demand for Lance’s services. This incredible news about Stroll overshadowed the previous announcement that the Alpine Formula 1 Team secured Pierre Gasly on a long-term contract. Although Gasly is also sought after by several teams on the grid, his popularity does not compare to Stroll’s. Gasly could potentially reach the podium this weekend, now that Flavio Briatore is back in charge.
Briatore, who was a victim of the infamous Crashgate scandal, has been welcomed back to Formula 1 as a breath of fresh air. He is seen as a shrewd hiring by Luca de Meo, the sport’s latest genius, who will receive executive advice from Briatore. Gasly made a smart decision to ignore the constant calls from other Formula 1 team bosses and commit to Alpine.
This leads us to Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro, the driver who seems to be unwanted by any team. Despite the great interest from Williams, Sauber-Audi, and Team Briatore, Sainz rejected Ferrari, which allowed Lewis Hamilton to join Charles Leclerc as his teammate from 2025. Now, Sainz finds himself alone on the dance floor during this Silly Season. It is said that Sainz has the luxury of choosing his next move. Toto Wolff, James Vowles, Andreas Seidl, and Flavio Briatore are all vying for his signature. Whom will Sainz decide to honor? It is a tough decision for him to make.
The track limits at the Red Bull Ring are now indicated by a gravel trap instead of asphalt. Errors and violations beyond the asphalt are penalized. The drivers have the choice between falling into the gravel trap or staying clean. The gravel traps, just like the walls, show no mercy to those who deviate from the correct path. This distinguishes the skilled from the inexperienced.
Talented F1 driver Logan Sargeant fully supports this development. This will catch his 19 competitors by surprise, who will likely make mistakes. The Williams driver is in the best position to benefit, as Sargeant always gains positions and rarely makes mistakes.
In contrast, experienced drivers Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were disappointed with the large run-off areas they used to enjoy. Both drivers also fear the dirt on the racing line when they go off track. Keep an eye on these two as they battle at the Red Bull Ring, while Sargeant takes advantage and impresses the Formula 1 team bosses closely monitoring his progress.
Another welcome presence in the Spielberg paddock is Jos Verstappen, Max’s father. He is happily back supporting his son and was seen giving instructions to engineer Gianpiero Lambiase before FP1 in Austria today. He always brings a positive atmosphere to the venue.
Despite the WhatsApp controversy earlier this year, which almost ruined careers and even the Formula 1 world champion team, Jos and Red Bull boss Christian Horner seem to have reconciled. The body language of the world champion team suggests that everything is back to normal within the team.
Confirmed that it’s business as usual, Helmut Marko is still in charge at VCARB, also known as Red Bull Juniors. He surpassed bosses Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer by expressing doubts about their decision to replace promising Daniel Ricciardo with another talented young driver, Liam Lawson, earlier than expected.
The popular Australian driver missed the chance to be Verstappen’s teammate again because Red Bull had no choice but to renew with Sergio Perez, who is in excellent form. Perez always pushes Max to the maximum, and the hope is to beat the Dutchman whenever possible. So far, it has been impossible. There are rumors that Verstappen was afraid of Ricciardo, but this has not been confirmed.
So, here it is, folks. This is how the F1 news from the Red Bull Ring reached my desk, providing an alternative perspective for our most demanding readers. Sometimes, in this eccentric sport of ours, it’s necessary to take a relaxed approach! 😉
