Are Bearman and Colapinto in F1 comparable to Sesks and Pajari in WRC? Since the Azerbaijan GP, I've been reflecting on how these rising talents stack up, despite competing in different championships. 🇬🇧 Ollie Bearman – Ollie made his F1 debut in Jeddah, standing in for Carlos Sainz at Scuderia Ferrari. He delivered an impressive performance, showcasing his pace and skill. His second appearance in Azerbaijan, filling in for Haas’ Kevin Magnussen, also saw him score points. Bearman is set for a full season with Haas in 2025. 🇦🇷 Franco Colapinto – Franco debuted in F1 at Monza, replacing Logan Sargeant at Williams Racing, and became the first Argentine driver in F1 since 2001. He scored points in his second race, cementing his status as a rising star. With a seat still available at Sauber for 2025, could Colapinto secure a full-time F1 spot? 🇱🇻 Mārtiņš Sesks – The 2023 European Rally Championship vice-champion made an immediate impact in his WRC debut, finishing 5th in Poland and narrowly missing a stage win. He continued to impress in his home rally in Latvia with two stage wins before technical issues interrupted his podium run. Sesks returns to Rally1 action this week in Chile. 🇫🇮Sami Pajari – Pajari has had a strong WRC2 season, claiming three victories. His Rally1 debut in Finland saw him overcome early challenges to secure a stage win and finish 4th. Like Sesks, Pajari is competing in Rally Chile this week and has a confirmed Rally1 appearance in the Central European Rally next month. These young talents are proving themselves capable of competing at the highest level. Should F1 and WRC teams do more to offer emerging drivers greater opportunities? Who do you think deserves a chance to showcase their talent? #Formula1 #F1 #WRC #Rally #Racing

BWT Alpine F1 Team heads to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for Round 18 of the 2024 FIA F1 World Championship, the #singaporegp - Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly preview the Singapore Grand Prix - Alpine Academy’s Abbi Pulling returns for Round 5 of F1 Academy. Esteban Ocon - Knock-on effect. The weekend in Azerbaijan was a tough one for the team. The issues we had in two of the three Free Practice sessions limited the preparation we were able to do ahead of Qualifying. Ultimately this then had a knock-on effect to the race which proved to be a tricky feat. With the back-to-back, the turnaround will be quick but we have debriefed after the weekend and shifted our focus ahead to Singapore. We are in this together as a team and we will regroup this coming weekend with the goal to maximise the available track time to fight in the points on Sunday. Pierre Gasly - Putting Baku behind us. The race weekend in Baku was a hard one for us. We took a gamble by running long on the opening stint, hoping for some action, which came a bit too late to make any difference to the end result for us. I was on the limit for the entire race and from that side, I think we did a good job. Overall, there are many things for us to reflect on. We had difficulties across all three days, and we must improve for next time. We lost some ground to our rivals in the Constructors’ Championship - we need to work extremely hard in these next few races to fight for points and recover that position. #Alpine #alpinecars #alpineracing #alpinef1team #f1 #formula1 #raceweek #singapore #marinabay #marinabaycircuit #FIA #quali #goodluck #raceday #qualifying #raceweek #raceweekend

BWT Alpine F1 Team heads to Spielberg for Round 11 of the 2024 FIA F1 World Championship, the Austrian Grand Prix. Esteban Ocon says: I have always liked racing in Austria. I have some fond memories here. Back in 2020, after a year out from racing, racing in Spielberg was the first one of the season. I remember the very wet Qualifying that year when we managed to qualify in fifth. In 2022, we had a good weekend here, taking ten points in fifth place. The track itself is short so usually the field is close and every hundredth and thousandth of a second counts. We have to get our high speed balance right and the aim for us is keep the positive trend going, which means an eye on Q3 again and, of course, valuable points. Pierre Gasly also says: Triple headers are always challenging. After Barcelona we’re straight into Austria and for a busy Sprint weekend. Spielberg is a short lap, the shortest for lap times during the year, with only nine corners. It’s a challenging one with kerbs, hard braking zones and a lot of high-speed corners. It’s always a very good event in Austria, a great atmosphere and a place I have enjoyed racing. We must take our learnings from Barcelona – especially high speed performance and balance – and apply them here this weekend. As it’s a Sprint we have to be on the pace straight away and put ourselves in a position to compete in both races. Did you know, Alpine performed its three fastest pitstops of the 2024 season in the Spanish Grand Prix. With Pierre Gasly’s 2.32s stop in the Japanese GP being their previous best, the team performed stops of 2.03s (Ocon), 2.24s (Gasly) and 2.27s (Ocon again) in Catalunya, making Alpine the third-fastest team in pitlane in 2024, behind only championship leaders Oracle Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Ferrari HP. #Alpine #alpinecars #alpineracing #alpinef1team #f1 #formula1 #AlpineF1 #AustrianGP #redbullring #AlpineCars #spielberg #raceday #teamenstone

I'm back again with another article on my blog! This article is a review of the recent Formula One race that kicked off the 2024 season. Bahrain's qualifying on Friday and the race on Saturday had fans witness a similar pattern of domination at the top of the grid to that of the 2023 season, it's anyone's guess as to whether it will be the same for the rest of the year. #blogpost #sport #formulaone
