Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Carlos Sainz Jr., Ferrari and More

Max Verstappen may have beaten him to a seat at Red Bull Racing, but Carlos Sainz Jr.'s potential Formula One career path has suddenly become much clearer.

If he can finish off the career of new Toro Rosso team-mate Daniil Kvyat, and if the might of Ferrari can persuade Daniel Ricciardo to join former sparring partner Sebastian Vettel (a big "if" admittedly), Sainz will be virtually assured of a Red Bull seat for the 2017 season.

That is why Sainz was not as disheartened as you might think when he heard of Verstappen's promotion and why the 21-year-old is sensing an opportunity ahead of his home race at this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.

Also planning to reign in Spain are Ferrari, who remain without a win since last September. Vettel retired from the recent Russian GP, where Kimi Raikkonen could only manage a distant third behind the all-conquering Mercedes drivers.

Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne has upped the pressure on his team in recent weeks but has spoken of his confidence of winning the Spanish GP if Vettel and Raikkonen benefit from a change of fortune.

Lewis Hamilton will also be hoping for better luck at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya—a track where he has only triumphed once in nine attempts—after suffering a number of reliability problems in China and Russia.

Mercedes technical chief Paddy Lowe has vowed the team are working to solve those niggles and believes Hamilton will recover from his slow start to the season to challenge team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has expressed his support for the increased restrictions on team radio.

Closing our latest roundup is Stoffel Vandoorne, who has suggested he may have alternative options if McLaren-Honda decide not to promote him to a race seat for 2017.
