Four Grands Prix in five weeks
G
GET set for F1 2017 to go into overdrive with four Grands Prix in the space of the next five weekends. It's a month that could go a long way to deciding the destiny of the 2017 world titles as the F1 circus travels east for the Malaysia and Japanese grand prix and then, after a brief pit-stop back in Europe, travel west for the races in the USA and Mexico.
Lewis Hamilton holds a 28-point title lead over Sebastian Vettel going into this weekend’s grand prix in Malaysia but the season-long Mercedes v Ferrari battle remains tight and delicately poised with six rounds to go.
There is a clear advantage to Hamilton but Vettel will have the bit between his teeth with much to prove after he misread the start of the Singapore grand prix resulting in a dramatic accident that left him with no points haul from a race that he was clear favourite.
All is happening behind the scenes: Renault and Red Bull have parted company for 2019. Red Bull have announced Aston Marin as a title sponsor for next year.
McLaren has divorced Honda for 2018. McLaren and Toro Rosso have done an engine for 2018. Carlos Sainz has joined Renault as part of that deal. Fernando Alonso has yet to announce where he will be in 2018 but staying at McLaren is his only viable option which may not be a bad one given that the Renault engine that he will have next year is currently third in this year’s championship. Next season is shaping up nicely.
