And next year all the teams may be set to lose the ‘qualifying mode’ on their engine which gives them that […] Mercedes has said they have concerns over blistering tyres at not just the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix but at the following round at Spa as well.

Hinchcliffe in the Andretti Autosport-Honda and Dixon in the Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda both broke […] Haas team principal Guenther Steiner says the team won’t announce any drivers for 2021 until Gene Haas commits to staying in F1.
