Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Christian Horner, Kimi Raikkonen and More

Christian Horner was a dead man walking.

With reports surrounding his future at Red Bull Racing, it seemed his tenure as the boss of the four-times world champions was spluttering to an end in the most ugly, unsavoury fashion after the team's worst start to a season in several years.

Yet the 41-year-old has brought a swift end to the speculation, announcing that he has signed a new deal with the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

While Horner has secured his long-term future, Kimi Raikkonen's place in Formula One is looking increasingly uncertain.

Having made major mistakes in the last two races, the Finn was in need a vote of confidence, but one of Raikkonen's former team-mates has urged Ferrari to get rid of the 2007 world champion and sign Valtteri Bottas or Nico Hulkenberg to race alongside Sebastian Vettel.

Raikkonen's display in the Austrian Grand Prix will form part of his legacy, with the Finnish driver's frightening crash with Fernando Alonso reopening the debate over cockpit safety.

Closed cockpits and canopies have long been regarded as the most likely solution to the lingering issue, but the head of the drivers' union has insisted the competitors will follow the lead of the rule-makers when it comes to making changes.

As Raikkonen's career comes to a close, Fabio Leimer's is only just beginning. 

It wasn't difficult to read between the lines when Manor recently signed the Swiss as their reserve driver, and the 2013 GP2 winner has claimed he is in line to make his grand prix debut at some point this season.

Closing this week's roundup is the news that winter testing ahead of the 2016 season will begin much later than normal as F1 continues to cut costs.
