Four rising talents join the path of current F1 stars Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Daniel Ricciardo with the Red Bull Junior Driver development programme.

Red Bull Racing have signed German FIA F3 ace Oliver Goethe to their young driver programme.

Australian driver Costa Toparis will complete Rodin Carlin’s GB3 line-up for the 2023 season.  The 15-year-old will make his full-season European racing debut as he takes on the eight round championship which kicks off in April. Toparis lines-up alongside already confirmed teammates Callum Voisin and John Bennett.

Daniel Ricciardo recently posted this video below on YouTube doing a few donuts in his McLaren sportscar and went karting with Jenson Button.

Charles Leclerc believes his friend and mentor Jules Bianchi deserved his seat at Ferrari. The 22-year-old driver rose through karting's ranks with great support of Bianchi who was 8 years older. At the time Leclerc made the switch from karting to cars, Bianchi had just reached Formula 1. As member of Ferrari's Driver Academy he got a chance at Marussia. A huge crash during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix left the talented French driver with severe head injuries. Nine months later Bianchi died because of his injuries.
