Robert Kubica has emerged as another potential replacement for struggling Toro Rosso driver Brendon Hartley.

Williams' head of aerodynamics - Dirk De Beer - has left the team after a disappointing start to the Formula 1 season.

Force India director Vijay Mallya has reportedly stepped down as he fights extradition from Britain to India on fraud and money laundering charges.

Red Bull is planning to prioritise its 2019 engine deal over Daniel Ricciardo's new contract as it prepares to make a choice between Renault power and Honda power by the end of June.

Additional comments:

Kubica replacing Hartley would be an interesting scenario. I am really hoping he gets a chance sooner or later!

Ricciardo started his 2018 season strong, and with Verstappen struggling recently, it might be a bold move from Red Bull not to secure their first driver and negotiate a contract with in-form driver Daniel Ricciardo.
