Re: Rumoured F1/motorsport driver/team moves
Just how many teams was the late Andrea de Cesaris linked to during his F1 Career that he never actually drove for? Zakspeed for 1988. AGS for 1991. Simtek for 1994. (Given what eventually happened to Ratzenberger and Montermini, he probably did the right thing not joining, could have gone full circ...

Max Verstappen could secure the title in the Sprint Race in Qatar. Technically, this would mean he would equal Michael Schumacher's 2002 record of winning the title with 6 races to go. He only needs to finish 6th or higher or, if he fails to score, have Perez finish 4th or lower. At the rate he's g...
