Aston Martin team principal Andy Cowell has refused to rule out approaching Christian Horner for a potential role with the Silverstone-based team.

The speculation comes after Horner's official departure from Red Bull in September, which placed him on a period of gardening leave. He has since been linked to several teams, including Ferrari and Mercedes.

When asked by media if internal discussions had taken place about offering Horner a position, Cowell addressed the rumors directly.

"We are always looking for strong talent, and Christian's record speaks for itself. However, we have a clear team structure in place and are focused on our current goals," Cowell stated.

He further elaborated on Horner's situation, adding, "Christian is taking some time out right now, and I'm sure he's enjoying it with friends and family. He loves this sport, though. I wish him well with whatever he decides to do next."

With Andy Cowell publicly refusing to rule out a move for Christian Horner, which team do you think would be the best fit for the former Red Bull principal if he returns to the F1 grid?

The FIA has activated Formula 1's new "heat hazard" rules for the first time at the Singapore Grand Prix due to a forecast exceeding 31°C.

This requires teams to install a Driver Cooling System, though drivers can opt out. Regardless, all cars must comply with a higher minimum weight of 805kg.

The rules were introduced after drivers suffered in extreme heat during the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, where one driver vomited and another withdrew from exhaustion.

However, some drivers, like Lewis Hamilton, have questioned the need for the systems, arguing that drivers should be prepared for tough conditions.

The Singapore race is known for its heat and humidity. While rain is forecast for Friday and Saturday, Sunday is expected to be dry and hot, prompting the new rules.

British racing driver Jamie Chadwick has backed Max Verstappen to re-enter the Formula 1 title fight after his dominant victory in Baku, insisting "it's game time again." Verstappen mastered tricky conditions to win, cutting his deficit to championship leader Oscar Piastri to 69 points with seven races left.

Chadwick believes the four-time champion is revitalized, having noticed "this sort of spring in his step again" after a mid-season period where he seemed to have a "demotivated sort of lull."

"No notes for Max. It was phenomenal," Chadwick said on the Sky F1 Show podcast. "I think that's obviously where he thrives... I think it's a big, big ask, but I would never rule him out, and also, he's not ruling himself out. He kind of smiled about it at the weekend and said, it's a lot of points. But never say never."

With seven rounds remaining, do you think Verstappen can overcome the 69-point gap to win a fifth title?

Romain Grosjean will return to a Formula 1 car for the first time since his horrific 2020 crash in a Haas test at Mugello. The session reunites him with former crew members, including Team Principal Ayao Komatsu, his race engineer from their successful Lotus days.

Komatsu said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Romain back... it’s only fitting. Romain and I have worked together throughout his entire Formula 1 career so this test is of particular significance.”

For Grosjean, the test is a symbolic closure. “I’m incredibly grateful to Gene Haas and to Ayao Komatsu for this invitation,” he said. “To say I’m excited would naturally be an understatement. To come back with my old team is truly something special.”

He will also fulfill a personal goal by using a helmet his children designed for his planned 2020 farewell race, adding, “I’m at last going to be able to give it a go in a Formula 1 car.”

The test will also feature ex-IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe, who will sample an F1 car for the first time.

Third place at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix was enough for Renault’s Fernando Alonso to become the youngest F1 driver world champion, at the time, at 24 years and 59 days.

“The final laps seemed to take forever,” Alonso said. “It took a while for it to sink in once I stopped. I won the championship with maybe not the best car, so I am proud of what I did. Taking the title from Michael Schumacher is a bonus. I come from a country with no Formula One tradition, and I had to fight my way alone, with help from only two or three people.”

Schumacher, reflecting on his title loss, remarked that he was “not sad” after his long reign.

1997 Champion Jacques Villeneuve was blunt about Ferrari's decline since Fred Vasseur's contract extension. “There was the big announcement that Fred Vasseur was signed again. And then the team just went down after that,” he said, pointing to three poor post-summer break races.

He believes the team is “completely lost right now and obviously need some direction.” Villeneuve argues that Lewis Hamilton's presence magnifies their problems, stating, “Whatever is good or whatever is bad is amplified by having Lewis there... it looks worse than it is and vice versa. That’s the gamble Ferrari took.”

However, he suggests Ferrari's focus should be on the future, saying, “Let’s not forget next year it almost starts from zero for everyone. So, it could be a perfect beginning for Ferrari next season... I don’t think they’re focusing on the rest of 2025. 2026 is coming.”

Do you think Villeneuve is right, and Ferrari's struggles are being amplified by the pressure that comes with Lewis Hamilton, or are their issues purely performance-based?

Max Verstappen dominated the 2023 Japanese Grand Prix, starting from pole position, setting the fastest lap, and taking the win for Red Bull Racing.

This win clinched the Austrian team’s sixth Constructors’ Championship and their second consecutive title after 2022. The victory also effectively ensured the Drivers’ Championship for Verstappen, who secured the title during the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix sprint event.

At that stage, only his teammate Sergio Perez remained in mathematical contention. McLaren’s Lando Norris (P2) and Oscar Piastri (P3) also finished on the podium, marking the team’s first double podium since the 2021 Italian Grand Prix and Piastri’s maiden career podium.
