[Saba Sports News] The Belgian Grand Prix got underway, and Thibaut Courtois, a member of the Belgium national football team and goalkeeper for Real Madrid, was present at the event. Later, in an interview with the media, Courtois stated his goal is to own an F2 team. Courtois said, “I’ve loved watching Formula 1 since childhood, especially the races of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari. I even followed MotoGP, but my main interest lies in motorsports and Formula 1, so I also follow Formula 2 and Formula 3 races.” In 2023, Courtois teamed up with a former F1 driver to run the TC Racing team under his name, currently competing in the F4 series in Spain. Courtois hopes to move up to F3 and then to F2. The writer believes that running a racing team is no easy task, involving hiring staff, R&D, event planning, and other areas. Although Courtois has the help of former F1 members, he lacks experience in managing a racing team. He will need to learn and adapt through practice, such as building an efficient team, developing reasonable race strategies, and handling various unexpected situations during races-challenges that he will need to face.
