Here's something to keep an eye on.

Since Aston Martin isn't doing so well and their stock dropped from £1100 to £500, Lawrence Stroll is considering purchasing a stake in the company and if he does, Racing Point could then become Aston Martin.

Not only that, but if he does, it could affect Red Bull since Aston Martin is one of their main sponsor.

The purchase would also solidify the alliance between Mercedes and Aston Martin. Aston Martin currently uses Mercedes engines in their car as does Racing Point.

Aston Martin have also said that they could develop their own engines from 2021.

Hmmm interesting and kinda shitty news if it comes true. Honda may not be in it for the long haul, only re-newing RB contract through 2021. No way they bail on us, is there?

Why Honda’s doubtful commitment to F1 should concern Red Bull – and Verstappen

God I hope alonso doesn’t come back. Having the three rookies of Albon, Russel and Norris this year just showed the sort of young drivers we can expect to see in the sport if we just give them chance. Alonso has had his day

Rossi acting like a starstuck teeny bopper around Ham. It should be the other way around.

Ferrari have signed Leclerc till the end of 2024.
Seems like a good deal for everyone involved.

Good for him I guess... I don’t hate leclerc, don’t love him either.. just kind of blah.. I dont rate him as a top tier driver. If Ham goes red in 2021 it will turn LeClerc into the next Rubens or Filipe
