Marnik Kok caught the Formula 1 world around twenty years ago. A deep passion for motorsport, Ferrari, and a background in journalism led him to contribute to various (international) F1 platforms. Since 2020, Marnik has been active as an editor and journalist in the pinnacle of motorsport for several media outlets, including De Telegraaf. As of 2025, he brings that experience to GPblog as a seasoned editor.
During his active years as a journalist — now working as a freelancer — Marnik attended numerous events, with the Dutch Grand Prix standing out as one of the highlights. In addition to his work at GPblog, Marnik is also active in the communications sector at a major national provider and steps in wherever needed. Sitting still is not an option — especially not in motorsport!
Carlos Sainz has been called to the stewards after a dramatic moment in FP2 at the British Grand Prix. The Williams driver spun and came dangerously close to colliding with one of the Ferraris — and very nearly with Lewis Hamilton.
The FIA wasted no time in stepping in. Following the incident, Sainz must now explain himself to the stewards at the end of FP2 after rejoining the track in a way that almost caused a serious collision with Lewis Hamilton.
Fortunately, the situation didn’t result in contact, but it was a near miss — just a couple of meters separated the two cars. A penalty may be on the cards, with the stewards' decision expected shortly.
