- , Alpine is considering bringing a B-team to the grid in the future for its junior d🎃rivers.

The French outfit has a h♑ot of promising young drivers, including current F2 chꦜampionship Oscar Piastri. 

With F𒐪ernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon locked down for next year, the likes of Piastri are set to miss o🍎ut.

- Piastri believes his chances of𒁃 the second Alfa Romeo season are virtually zero.

“My chances of being in F1 next year are extremely low, I think basically none”, he said in an . “I know [Guanyu] Zhou has been very heavily linked to that seat and also Giovinazzi is there at the moment. I don’t think I’m going to be in that seat at all, I t🌳hink it is the only opportunity for next year. I’d be happily surprised if it was me in that seat ♋for next year.

“I think the most realistic targe🙈t and goal is to be Alpine’s reserve for next year because at the end of the day I am still very heavily linked with them and very appreciative of their support, and I think that is reciprocated."

“So I think the most logical step is to try to become reserve dri🎃ver for next year and see what kind of programme we can come up with for next year, and hopefully do some testing and FP1 sessions. And then try to get into an F1 seat for the following year for 2023.”

- Lawrence Stroll has described his son’s time with Wil💞liams as “two years ꦚof torture”. 

He said on F1’s Beyond the Grid podcast: “We started with Williams, you know, two years of torture Particularly when you’re used to coming off winning, and when you train for two three hours every day, and watch what you eat and know that the best you’re going to do is 18th on a good weekend. It’s ch💮allenging so getting him a car last year was very, very important.

“Very important for everything ꦅfor all the work he 𝐆has put in.”

- Mercedes’ J🍨ames Allison believes Lewis Hamilton could have finished a♌s low as eighth had he not stopped during the Turkish Grand Prix.

Speaking on , he said: “When we eventually did call Lewis in, it was because the lap time chart that we use to make our predictions was telling us that it was not looking good for hanging on to the end of the race – that the car’s pace by then would be sufficiently poor that… we were looking at something that was somewhere in the region of seventh, eighth place, based on the way in which the tyres were progressiv𝔉ely degrading.”

- Reigning Fꦯ1 Esports champion Jarno Opmeer has started the ne🤡w season in brilliant fashion by winning two of the opening three races for Mercedes. 

The Dutchman is 14 points clear of Aston Martin’s Lucas Blakeley in the drivers’ championship, while Mercedes sits top of ꦜthe teams’ standings.
