This week in F1...

Week ending 17.1.25

Here we go… another week in Formula One, albeit this one hasn’t been quite as busy on the news front, as we await the arrival of this year’s cars.

• Alessandro Alunni Bravi set to leave Sauber at the end of January after an 8 year stint, as Jonathan Wheatley arrives from Red Bull

• McLaren will have to wait for Will Courtney, as Red Bull won’t release him early to join their rivals

• Mercedes run a W11 from 2020 with Kimi Antonelli at the wheel in Jerez, in order to give him track time, whilst avoiding new TPC restrictions

• Aston Martin are reportedly courting Max Verstappen, even though he’s in contract with Red Bull until 2028

• Haas have Ocon, Bearman and Miyata in the car at Jerez, as they look to use an older car to get their drivers up to speed ahead of the new season

• Flavio Briatore potentially gives fans a sneak peak of the Alpine livery
