F1 teams are heading to the Far East this week with the season resuming at the Japanese Grand Prix. After wins for Max Verstappen in the opening two Grand Prix races, Carlos Sainz Jnr breathed life into the championship race in Australian, capitalising on the Dutchman’s retirement to take the chequered flag.
Lewis Hamilton, who will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari at the end of the season, has struggled thus far in his swansong with the Silver Arrows. But speculation over who will replace him continues to ramp up, with Sainz firmly in the frame in what would be a straight-swap deal.
Toto Wolff has alson been linked with an audacious move for Verstappen. While that appears far-fetched, the internal strife at Red Bull continues to rumble on with the 26-year-old reportedly at odds with Christian Horner, which has placed fresh doubt on the future of the three-time world champion.
