Another F1 steward suspended over media comments
Jun.14 (GMM)  A second former Formula 1 driver has landed in hot water with the FIA over public remarks deemed inappropriate for a race steward. Derek Warwick, a veteran of the sport and long-serving steward, has been stood down from his duties at the Canadian Grand Prix after making blunt comments about current drivers in an interview with a gambling outlet. The incident mirrors the earlier case of Johnny Herbert, who was also sidelined by the governing body just ahead of the 2025 season opener in Melbourne. Herbert had raised eyebrows for labelling Max Verstappen as having a “horrible mindset” in separate media interviews with gambling websites. The FIA deemed his dual role in media and officiating as incompatible. Now it’s Warwick’s turn in the spotlight. Speaking last week, the 70-year-old described Yuki Tsunoda as a “disaster” for Red Bull and compared Lance Stroll unfavourably with drivers like Liam Lawson. The FIA was quick to respond. “Following recent unauthorised media comments, the FIA has taken the decision to suspend Derek Warwick from his duties as driver steward,” read the official statement. Warwick has since accepted fault and offered an apology, the FIA added. The FIA confirmed he will return to officiating duties at the upcoming Austrian Grand Prix, with Enrique Bernoldi stepping in for Canada.]]>

Red Bull rookie Hadjar ‘ready for faster car’ - boss
Jun.14 (GMM)  Isack Hadjar is capable of stepping up to Red Bull Racing if called upon. That’s the view of Racing Bulls team principal Laurent Mekies, even after the 20-year-old rookie admitted in Montreal that he’s “not ready” to be Max Verstappen’s teammate. Hadjar has been one of the standout performers of the 2025 rookie class, prompting speculation that Red Bull may consider replacing Yuki Tsunoda sooner rather than later. “He’s having an extraordinary season,” Mekies told Sky Italia in Canada. “Maybe only Helmut Marko expected all of this.” Still, Racing Bulls CEO Peter Bayer joked earlier this week that he would need “handcuffs” to keep Hadjar at the junior team for now, suggesting the French-Algerian driver needs more time before being exposed to the pressure of racing alongside Verstappen. “He’s in a very important growth phase now,” Mekies acknowledged. “But a driver is always ready to get into a faster car.” Should Hadjar get an early promotion to the senior Red Bull team, the next in line to fill his seat appears to be Arvid Lindblad. The FIA has now approved Red Bull’s application for an early super license for the 17-year-old British-Swedish driver, despite his age. “Arvid is gaining experience in Formula 2,” Mekies said. “But he still needs to develop. When the opportunity arises, we’ll evaluate it.”]]>

Glock urges Aston Martin to drop Stroll for 2026
Jun.14 (GMM)  Lance Stroll is running out of time in Formula 1, according to former grand prix driver Timo Glock. The Canadian, who returned to the paddock in Montreal following surgery and a one-race absence after Barcelona, was seen wearing a bandage on his right wrist. Rumours suggest he aggravated a 2023 cycling injury during a fit of anger after qualifying in Spain. Aston Martin confirmed that Stroll had been "upset". Asked about the injury at his home race, Stroll said: "I don't really want to get into detail because it's just my medical privacy, and I like to keep that confidential." Stroll's strained relationship with the media and fans has also remained in the spotlight. At Thursday’s press conference in Montreal, he offered short, disinterested answers, prompting criticism. Germany’s Sport Bild reported: "He lounges listlessly on the couch next to Lewis Hamilton and Franco Colapinto, demonstratively chewing gum. Stroll's answers were monosyllabic. How monosyllabic? Stroll's average was 33.72 words per answer. The performance left journalists shaking their heads." A journalist from France’s L’Equipe added: "The man continues to take a beating, from you, from us, from everything. And he continues to show it, unashamedly." Glock believes Stroll, the son of Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll, hasn’t shown enough progress in nearly a decade on the grid – especially with top drivers like Max Verstappen, George Russell, and Yuki Tsunoda potentially on the market. "If you look at Stroll's record in qualifying duels, he's never had the upper hand," Glock told Sky Deutschland. "They were mostly relatively clear defeats, and he hasn't been convincing with consistency this year either. There are always weekends where it seems as if he's catching up to Fernando Alonso, but over the course of a whole year, he's simply too far behind." "Ultimately, Stroll is definitely not where he needs to be after his long time in Formula 1. Would I keep him for 2026 if I were in charge at Aston Martin? No. "Aston Martin needs a different approach if it wants to succeed. They need two drivers who consistently deliver."]]>
