You have to feel for Heikki Kovalainen. Having been overlooked for a Caterham drive he appeared to have in the bag before the end of the 2013 season, he has been told his drives for Lotus cost him the seat. Kovalainen filled in for Kimi Raikkonen for the remaining two races of the 2013 season but struggled to adapt to the E21, failing to score any points in the process. Former team boss Tony Fernandes...

When Mark Webber told Sky Sports he expected then-teammate Sebastian Vettel to join Fernando Alonso at the team in 2016, it raised a number of interesting questions. Vettel had been tipped for a move to Maranello for the 2014 season, as reported by BBC Sport at the time, but the deal never materialised.
