Thanks BK!
And now for the American audience...
Here we are! Merco, after Monaco, is on the move!
Antonelli on pole to take Sir Lewis's place in 2025. Especially if Maxoo chooses to stick with the de-energizing brain drink for the stunted.
At the Monaco GP, Carlito was officially informed by Toto that he would not be Russy's teammate in 2025. Why not?
In May, before Monac', Merco organized a private test at Silverstone where 17-year-old Antonelli took on Schumi the Younger. But what emerged today was that Russy was also there to set benchmarks. And the result: with a W13 2022 and on an identical program, Antonelli was as fast as Russy in qualifying configuration, and slightly better than him in race pace! This explains James Allison's rave reviews of the young Italian at Imola, and Russy's call to see him in the garage in 2025. Only 3 members of the Stuttgart board were in favor of his arrival before the event, but now there are 15, i.e. a majority. The decision now rests with Toto. Max has no intention of going to Merco, I say that in view of his recent statements. Maybe in 2026, but Merco won't wait until 2026, in my opinion.
Ocon
Alpine is in a dilemma after Bruno Famin, Alpine's managing director, declared in vivo, full of emotion and rage, that suspending Ocon would mean depriving themselves of the fastest driver, the one who scores the points, and ultimately having 2 penalties. races, Montreal for non-participation and the following race with a 5-place penalty. One thing's for sure: Ocon won't be with Alpine in 2025!

Salut Steve,
merci for the translation ! I finally did it in the initial text, without having seen that you had done it too! well done amigo!

Sainz
he himself confirms what was being said in the Monac' paddock: “I think that just going to certain places for one or two years and then leaving is not the right way to approach F1.” He's clearly changed his perspective, and without naming them, he's talking about Audi and Williams.
Briatore
a possible comeback? According to Il Corriere della Sera, Luca de Meo has contacted him to offer him a position as general supervisor, his task being to bring in new recruits, drawing on his experience and expertise to advise and guide the team's strategy, without a permanent involvement in on-track activities. He is as brilliant as he is controversial.
Ocon
since Troll's car, at Massenet, climbing Beaurivage after Sainte Dévote, 1st fight between Gasly and Ocon, there was a touch already, before le Portier

Renault owes him its best years in Formula 1 and also the darkest period in its F1 history. Briatore is to take on the role of supervisor at Alpine. The former boss of Benetton and then Renault in F1 has been tasked by the CEO with helping to recruit engineers and other resources to strengthen the structure at Enstone UK (chassis) and Viry-Châtillon France (engines), as well as acting as a special advisor on track operations. He is also the Doohan's manager...
I don't know if you'll be able to see these images because of geolocation, but it's spectacular from Djoe's car. https://x.com/CanalplusF1/status/179...20202405300852
Another image that's making the rounds: a drunken boat in Monaco harbor.

Ocon will be in Canada!
No news for Debris Ator, let's wait and see, but Alpine is in the middle of a drama, a real haemorrhage of very old Renault managers, after Bob Bell, Davide Brivio, Alan Permane, Pat Fry, Matt Harman, Dirk de Beer and Otmar Szafnauer, it's Bob White who's been asked to pack his bags after 20 years!
