Abstract: We investigate the structure of simple Lie algebras $L$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>7$. Let $T$ denote a torus in the $p$-envelope of $L$ in $\operatorname{Der}L$ of maximal dimension. We classify all $L$ for which every 1-section with respect to every such torus $T$ is solvable. This settles the remaining case of the classification of these algebras.
