Alpine boss Laurent Rossi is confident both Fernando Alonso and Oscar Piastri will be on the Formula 1 grid in 2023, but he will only consider loaning ...

He’s a very promising talent, we would love to fulfil this talent in the team. “We’re making and building scenarios for him and Oscar, as I’m sure you would ask me. Williams F1 chief Jost Capito said the team had “various options” to explore for its line-up next year, and that he would be open to having a driver on loan if it worked for the team.

Alpine plans to hand Fernando Alonso a drive in its LMDh programme, leading to him returning to the 24 Hours of Le Mans once his Formula 1 career is over.

So obviously this is part of the discussion. “He was always going to have a seat in LMDh the day he switches, he will be welcome, it’s his team. “We talked about the fact that Fernando is a legend of the sport, but also a legend of the Renault Group. For us, he’s the champion.

Formula 1 drivers were left frustrated by a change to the Paul Ricard pitlane speed limiter zone introduced by the FIA ahead of the French Grand Prix.

Even Albon, who escaped sanction at the time, conceded that he was at fault. He also noted that the white line rule provides a sufficient deterrent to abuse of track limits. When an informal vote was taken on whether it was a just penalty, all drivers bar Alonso and teammate Esteban Ocon voted yes. Secondly, it means that drivers carry less speed as they leave the pits and thus makes it harder for them to defend their position into Turn 1 when emerging from a stop. However, after considering the matter overnight Freitas explained in his latest notes that "the deterrents ("baguette kerbs") adjacent to the track at the exit of T5 and T15 have been removed." Freitas wrote: "There is an active digital panel placed on top of the pit wall adjacent to the pit exit (driver's right).

Ferrari will be looking to beat Red Bull mainly in the twisty third sector. In the first three free practice sessions, Red Bull and Ferrari made the best impression. As has been the case all year, Red Bull Racing and Ferrari seem to be making the difference.

Mick Schumacher says he plans to have discussions with FIA officials over the track limits violation which put him out in Q1.

“The DRS delta is pretty big so we should be able to overtake once we get into DRS,” he said. “The C4 is quite a vulnerable tyre at the moment. I must be something that millimetres at the end.”

Charles Leclerc claimed pole for the French F1 GP ahead of Max Verstappen, thanks in part to driving in the slipstream of his teammate Carlos Sainz.

The 37-year-old Hamilton is in his 16th season in the sport in which he has already matched Michael Schumacher’s record of seven titles and is the most successful driver with 103 poles and 103 wins. Verstappen now has a 38-point advantage over Leclerc in second place and 57 points on Pérez. Hamilton will reach his 300th race this weekend but it is unlikely to be the celebratory affair he might have hoped for. It was a vital advantage as Verstappen, following him on track, was breathing down his neck and crossed the line just eight thousandths of a second down, setting up a mighty head-to-head for the final runs. This is Leclerc’s 16th career pole and his seventh this season, in which he has demonstrated remarkable pace over the single lap. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were in fourth and sixth, with McLaren’s Lando Norris was fifth.

A return to world championship glory with BMW turbo power was the prelude to a catastrophic slump from which Brabham could not escape.

OPINION: Lewis Hamilton appears unlikely to extend his tally of seven Formula 1 world championships in 2022, as Mercedes tries to recover the ground it has lost with its new car.

The Red Bull and Ferrari battle for supremacy takes to Formula 1's next battleground at the Paul Ricard circuit.

Dans une Mercedes moins rapide que ses principaux concurrents, il ne baisse cependant pas les bras. Ce week-end en France, Lewis Hamilton ne pense toujours pas avoir une voiture aussi rapide que Ferrari et Red Bull. Pour gagner, il faut être mentalement bien.

Le patron de Mercedes Toto Wolff dresse un bilan sans concession, dans un entretien à l'AFP, de la nouvelle réalité de son écurie.

R: « Naturellement, mais il y a du lobbying d'eux aussi (Red Bull et Ferrari, NDLR). La FIA n'introduirait pas des règlements sur la base de la sécurité des pilotes s'il n'y avait pas de problème. Les voitures touchent le fond plat sur beaucoup de circuits et cela fait mal aux pilotes, donc il faut les protéger et augmenter la hauteur de la voiture. R: « Le règlement ne change pas l'an prochain, donc il faut d'abord comprendre ce qui marche et ce qui ne marche pas sur notre voiture avant de se mettre sur la voiture de l'an prochain. R: « Avant les essais au circuit Paul Ricard, j'aurais dit oui. C'est comme ça, on s'est planté mécaniquement, on s'est planté aérodynamiquement, ce n'est jamais une seule chose, c'est une combinaison. Mais on n'a toujours été préparé à ce qu'un jour, on se retrouve face à des difficultés, et maintenant on est dans cette situation. Mercedes s'est « planté » en 2022, reconnaît Toto WolffFormule 1 samedi, 23 juil.

On a eu huit années avec des grands succès, on a repoussé les limites comme jamais dans aucun sport, en gagnant huit fois de suite le championnat du monde. Mais ...

Après, les équipes qui sont devant ne veulent surtout pas changer le règlement, et ils ignorent un peu ce que disent les pilotes". Cette saison est un test grandeur nature et pour le moment nous n'avons pas encore les conclusions nécessaires pour décider d'une trajectoire de développement pour l'année prochaine". Je ne sais pas si ça lui sert à quelque chose mais si je pouvais choisir ce serait lui". R: "Oui. En Formule 1, le chrono ne ment jamais et aujourd'hui il dit qu'on n'est pas rapide. C'est impressionnant, même pour un septuple champion du monde". Mais on n'a toujours été préparé à ce qu'un jour, on se retrouve face à des difficultés, et maintenant on est dans cette situation".

Chapeau ! », a déclaré Alain Prost dans un entretien accordé à L’Equipe. Lewis Hamilton appréciera… Plombé par les nouveaux règlements de la FIA, Hamilton n’a toujours pas gagné une seule course avant le Grand Prix de France. Même si le pilote Mercedes a relevé la tête avec trois podiums sur les trois dernières courses, il est encore loin de ses objectifs. Toute la saison, les deux pilotes se seront livrés un duel exceptionnel avec en point d’orgue leur collision à Silverstone. Un an après, ce choc n’est toujours pas digéré par Hamilton qui a lancé une pique à Verstappen après le retour à Silverstone cette saison. « A Copse, par exemple, nous sommes passés à deux (de front) sans aucun problème. Quelle bataille ! », a lancé l’Anglais en faisant référence à son duel avec Charles Leclerc dans des propos relayés par Eurosport. Sans tarder, Max Verstappen a répliqué : « Je pense que c'est bien que vous puissiez encore apprendre à prendre le point de corde à l'âge de 37 ans.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff didn't think it was possible they would end qualifying so far behind Ferrari and Red Bull.

“We are seeing within one session we go from totally uncompetitive in the first sector to – second run in Q3 – we’re the best in sector one. “Then we went to Austria, a track where we are normally not competitive at all and we could clearly see the signs why we were not competitive but we were close. “We were slowly but surely working our way back to the front-runners and there were good signs in Silverstone,” Wolff told media including RaceFans today.

CHRISTIAN HORNER once had a huge row with Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff, with one witness claiming the Austrian 'lost his s***'.

"I'm not only talking about Mercedes - all of the cars suffered in some way or other in Baku and still do here. Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull, has branded claims his team could be impacted by new rules as "total rubbish" after Mercedes' Wolff said some of his rivals were using "flexi-floors" to give their cars a performance advantage. "Over the course of the season, each driver is required to give up one of their first practice sessions for a young driver. This week, Christian Horner and Toto Wolff have revived their war of words from 2021. In the 2022 F1 season, all teams are required to hand a "young driver" a spot in two first practice sessions. "And team principals trying to manipulate what is being said in order to keep their competitive advantage and trying to play political games when the FIA tries to come up with a quick solution to at least put the cars in a better position is disingenuous and that's what I said.

Lando Norris admits that it was a “rewarding surprise” to split the two Mercedes drivers and qualify fifth for the French Grand Prix.

“But to be a little chunk ahead of them and fighting Mercedes was definitely a lot more than I expected. So not that we would never want to get to Q3, but just how to choose the tyres for FP3 at the right time and things like that. “I mean, after the pace in Q1 and Q2, I guess not as surprised.

If you plan on laying down a few bucks on Sunday's race, our Bryce Kelly gives you some pointers on who may pay off the best for you.

The odds are around –115 to –130. Look for Ricciardo to stay in the backend of the top ten. Bet on Leclerc to continue his winning ways and close the gap in the championship. Gasly then lost that pace and failed to get out of Q1. He will line up 14th due to other drivers having penalties. The French driver struggled to qualify for his home grand Prix after looking quick in practice. If you want to go high risk and high reward go with Leclerc. This is a bet to keep an eye on as the season progresses.

Fernando Alonso admitted he was concerned to find himself so far behind Lando Norris's McLaren after qualifying for the French Grand Prix.

“It was not an easy weekend. To be honest now when I saw the times, Lando half a second in front is a little bit too much, unreachable for us, and that is a bit worrying. “But AlphaTauri and McLaren they seem to improve the car a lot with updates.

In the meantime, Mika Hakkinen had been in a hurry at the start of the race and had carved his way though the pack - getting through Frentzen and Alesi to climb up to second from 14th on the grid. Whether you believe EJ's parable of the man with the brolly, or whether the team had just taken a gamble and won big, it set Frentzen on course for an unlikely title bid. A safety car period followed the stops, as Alesi threw his Sauber into the gravel, with the race brought to a restart on lap 35. Per EJ, the team was informed that the rain wasn't about to stop, and thus the Jordan pit crew filled Frentzen's car up to the maximum and sent him on his way, intending not to stop again. Barrichello led again, passed by Hakkinen again as Frentzen looked good for third - but the top two had to stop again for a splash-and-dash to the finish. Without the presence of his arch rival at the front and Mansell mired in the pack, Prost eased to clear towards a fourth home race win. A more traditional front-running trio of David Coulthard, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Michael Schumacher occupied the next three positions on the grid. Pressure applied by the British driver saw Patrese make a crucial mistake and spin off, opening the path for Mansell to take second place. In fact, due to the early chaos and an incredible first lap to go from 16th to ninth, F1 debutant Jean Alesi became the surprise closest contender to Prost, rising to second in his Tyrrell before pitting. The race was immediately red flagged, as the 1985 British Formula 3 champion stepped out of his rolled March and remarkably was relatively unscathed. But wind the time back to Friday qualifying and something truly remarkable occurred - Minardi topped the times. But Maserati’s challenge had grown stronger and there were three A6GCMs in the top five.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has accused Formula 1 rivals of posturing over a potential challenge to the FIA's planned floor changes for 2023.

"Clearly when you're running in the front you just want to just make sure that nothing changes, and when you're not running at the front, you want to make sure that a lot changes. "Trying to work with the FIA is always part of it. He sits in his office, he doesn't call anyone, and does his thing?" "The cars are way too stiff and they bounce. "I think it's just business as usual," he said about the latest row. "No team is ever going to go legal against the FIA, number one.

A bit of a disagreement between Ferrari and Sainz over team radio with the driver wanting to stop for new tyres before having a go at Perez.

Carlos Sainz says criticism of Ferrari's F1 strategy calls has been unfair, after its tactics helped Charles Leclerc score French Grand Prix pole position.

"But I think this year the team has been very solid on the strategy side and I think today proves it. "It's nice to see. "And I think it's a bit unfair because [with] every team this season, there's going to be mistakes with tyres, choosing tyres and everything.

Max Verstappen won the F1 French Grand Prix in his Red Bull to extend his lead in the drivers' title race.

With the safety car called, Hamilton pitted for a free stop and emerged in second behind Verstappen when racing resumed on lap 21. Leclerc made a clean getaway from pole to hold the lead while Hamilton leapt out of his blocks and jumped Pérez to take third. He overcooked it, lost the rear and spun out into the wall at turn 11 and admitted it had been his fault. Verstappen looked to have slightly superior race pace in a straight line but did not have enough to make the pass. This is the 27th win of Verstappen’s career, his sixth in the last nine races and seventh this season. The victory has crucially further extended Verstappen’s lead over Leclerc who is second in the championship to 63 points, with ten races remaining.

Max Verstappen won the French Grand Prix at Paul Ricard after Charles Leclerc spun out and crashed while leading the race.

Hamilton took second place, with Russell a further six second behind to complete Mercedes’ first double podium of the season. However, Sainz was too far behind from Russell and Perez ahead to close down the gap before the chequered flag. Eventually, Sainz got going, but right in the path of Alexander Albon, who had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the Ferrari. Sainz was later handed a five second time penalty for an unsafe release. The Safety Car was deployed, prompting a flurry of activity in the pit lane. On lap 17, Leclerc suddenly lost control of his car through Beausset and spun into the tyre wall, reporting a stuck throttle on his car. Leclerc led out front while both he and Verstappen quickly dropped Hamilton and the rest of the pack behind them.

Tsunoda stopped on the same lap as Leclerc’s crash as a result of the floor damage he had picked up in the lap one clash with Ocon that had dropped him to the rear of the pack. That was behind Perez, who lost out to Russell after the Mercedes driver jumped ahead of the Red Bull when the VSC ended as they approached the final corner and then soaked up pressure over the final three laps to seal third. On lap 42, Russell made a late move to the inside of the Turn 8 part of the Mistral chicane and when Perez turned in the pair came close to crashing before the Red Bull scampered across Turn 9 and stayed ahead – to Russell’s frustration but with the stewards’ quickly deciding the incident did not merit investigation. From there, Verstappen was untroubled to the finish and came home with a 10.5s margin of victory ahead of Hamilton, who was likewise unthreatened in second – this was despite a brief moment of worry for the leaders when Zhou Guanyu stopped in the Turn 6 runoff and triggered a brief virtual safety car. But just after it had warned Leclerc to look after his mediums, the race was turned on its head when Leclerc crashed out at Le Beausset – losing the rear of his F1-75 in a mistake while running close to the edge of the track deep into the high-speed hairpin on his stressed rubber. The Dutchman was now the one seemingly struggling for grip as at one stage he slipped off the road at Turn 6, so picking up his first track limits violation, and by lap 14 he had had fallen out of DRS range as Leclerc began to increase his pace back towards where he had been lapping in the early stages.
