‘Perez to Alfa, Vettel to Aston Martin, Kimi is out’ ?

Perez tests positive for the virus so will be out a few races. Not sure who will replace him.

Gutierrez is the man.

 

Seems like Gutierrez would need at least 300km of track time to re-activate his license.

Nico Hülkenberg will do the seat tomorrow.

 

Yes, seems like it. Good opportunity for the Hulk.

Wow the Hulk is back. In that Pink Merc can expect a strong result maybe even a podium in the second race?

Remember Perez saying he was 'dizzy' in Hungary.

 

Go HULK! Let’s get that podium mate

 

hmmmm I don’t remember that...? He made that comment during the race???

 

It was a Sky interview , you know when they sit on the stools with a couple Sky guys ,i think it was after the race or maybe after qualy, dont remember.

Edit ..just checked it was after qualy.

 

Racing Point has confirmed there was no exit clause in Sergio Perez's contract that required the team to decide on his future by 31 July.

Racing Point is currently in talks with Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel about joining the team for 2021, when it will rebrand as Aston Martin, despite having two drivers under contract already.

Both Perez and current team-mate Lance Stroll have long-term deals with the squad, meaning an exit agreement would have to be struck with one of them if a deal was struck with Vettel.

 

Would not be a surprise. Nico with a full test this weekend.

 

How about Nico and Perez ? and bring in Vettel on a car development deal !

Sebastian Vettel says “people make a fuss out of everything” after confirming he shared a ride with Racing Point Formula 1 boss Otmar Szafnauer after the British Grand Prix.

The German has been heavily linked with a move to Racing Point - soon to be rebranded as Aston Martin in 2021.

Vettel was spotted sitting in Szafnauer’s Ferrari Pista by veteran photographer Mark Sutton adding to the intense speculation that the four-time world champion would be joining the team next season.

In Thursday’s press conference ahead of the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone, Vettel explained why he was sharing a car with the Racing Point team boss after last weeks' race.

“It’s correct, we were heading to the fuel station,” Vettel said. “After the fuel station he was going home and I continued going somewhere else.

“It’s a nice car. It’s a Ferrari Pista. I remember years ago he was talking about that car, now he obviously got one. He said he was running out of fuel, I said ‘Well, where are you going?’ and we were heading in the same direction so I was going with him to the fuel station and then went somewhere else.

“We were in the same car but we were wearing masks. We obviously can’t be two meters apart. I find it a bit awkward nowadays, people make a fuss out of everything and that actually I don’t see the point, I don’t see the news in that, but OK, fine!”

With seats being quickly filled for 2021, Vettel says he’s still not too stressed about his future.

“I’ve got lots of possibilities,'' Vettel added. “Maybe not so many in Formula 1 as you can do the math and see which seats are taken, but I think as I’ve always mentioned the most important is that I’m happy with my choice. Time will tell what the choice is and then go from there, so I’m not too stressed about it.”
