The silly season in Formula 1 is in full swing. Of course, there was already Lewis Hamilton's mega-transfer from Mercedes to Ferrari, and it remains an option for Max Verstappen - despite an ongoing contract - to swap Red Bull Racing for Mercedes. What is certain in any case: Fernando Alonso's contract at Aston Martin expires. The Spaniard was already linked to Mercedes, recently also to Red Bull Racing. Serious talks have reportedly already taken place with the latter team.
