A Mercedes move has been reported to end any speculation over a key figure following Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari next season. With the Dutch Grand Prix just days away, one team has announced that its star driver is set to be replaced in Zandvoort.
AC Milan have encountered a setback in their efforts to offload Fodé Ballo-Touré as the player failed to reach a salary agreement with Saint-Etienne. This development has derailed a transfer that was on the verge of completion.

Lewis Hamilton has spoken about the pending split between himself and Pete Bonnington after almost 12 years of working together. With Hamilton moving to Ferrari, the confirmation from Mercedes of his long-time race engineer Pete Bonnington securing a promotion at Brackley means the most successful driver/race engineer partnership in F1 history will end after this season. While a move to Ferrari wasn’t a hugely likely one for Bonnington, speculation had kept the possibility alive as the identity of Hamilton’s future race engineer at Ferrari isn’t yet known. The most likely candidate is Carlos Sainz’s incumbent race engineer Riccardo Adami, with…
