Formula One could be set to return to Imola for the first time in 11 years next season, with the circuit signing a contract to host the 2017 Italian Grand Prix.

After much debate surrounding the future of F1 in Italy and the troubled Monza track, the revelation of Imola's deal is the first piece of concrete news that the pinnacle of motorsport will continue to visit Ferrari's homeland beyond this year.

But while Imola has put pen to paper on a deal to host the Italian GP, the contract is still yet to be inked by the man who really matters.

With the driver market simmering, contracts are the talk of F1 at the moment as the drivers try to put themselves in the best position to take advantage of the major regulation changes planned for 2017.

One driver who won't be on the move, however, is Valtteri Bottas, whose manager has explained why the Finn is happy to remain at Williams as well as offering an update on Esteban Gutierrez's negotiations with Haas.

Until Kimi Raikkonen's contract extension was confirmed by Ferrari at the British GP, Daniel Ricciardo had flirted with a move away from Red Bull next season.

It is perhaps no coincidence that the Australian suffered a notable loss of form as the speculation surrounding his future intensified, with the three-time race winner beaten by team-mate Max Verstappen in three of the last four events.

Ahead of this weekend's Hungarian GP, where he won in style two years ago, Red Bull have backed Ricciardo to return to his best.

Closing this week's roundup is Force India's Otmar Szafnauer, who has become the latest paddock figure to criticise the restrictions on team radio after the team suffered brake problems in Austria.
