Rocco Coronel was announced Wednesday by Red Bull as a new driver for its talent program. The 13-year-old karter and son of racing driver Tom Coronel have been admired on international karting tracks for years and also caught the eye of Red Bull. Recently, Rocco Coronel participated in a test in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain under the watchful eye of Helmut Marko and that gave Red Bull the final push. KartXpress speaks with Rocco Coronel about his move to Red Bull.

The Formula One hit the halfway stage of the season, with Max Verstappen in second position trailing Lewis Hamilton only 8 points. Red Bull sat down with Max to see how he feels about his season so far. With 11 races of the season down, Max has claimed five wins and was leading the Drivers’ Championship until the latest race at the Hungaroring. But it’s not just race wins the Dutchman has collected, he’s also picked up a few new records along the way too. However, the two most recent races haven’t gone to plan for Max and the Team.

The Van Amersfoort Racing duo of Jonny Edgar (16, England) and Jak Crawford (15, USA) were once again in a class of their own.

Red Bull Motorsport advisor Helmut Marko was at the circuit to watch his juniors.

Born in the French city of Rouen, Pierre Gasly’s start in motorsport came like many before him, in karting, where he made his way up to French Formula 4 and, then, Eurocup Formula Renault, where he competed as part of the Red Bull Junior programme. From there, he moved to F1 feeder series GP2, which he won in 2016 and Super Formula and before eventually being promoted to Red Bull sister team Toro Rosso at the end of 2017. In 2018 the French had a impressive season at Toro Rosso and when Daniel Ricciardo left Red Bull Racing, Gasly was promoted next to Max Verstappen at Aston Martin Red Bull Racing.
