A couple of weeks ago, Dutch former F1 driver Robert Doornbos told that, based on info from a reliable source, this Spring will be interesting. Quite likely he has Jos Verstappen's phone number, methinks.

  • Verstappen has had an open conversation with Helmut Marko explaining that he will also sound out now what is possible with the competition;
  • behind closed doors down at RBR there is still a lot going on - more to come this month;
  • Adrian Newey is bothered by the Horner complaint controversy and will not extend his RBR contract (ending at the end of the 2025 season);
  • after the Suzuka race, Perez (P2) asked RBR for a 3-year contract extension; but according to Doornbos Marko does not favor a long-term contract for Perez.
