Adrian Newey is set to step down as Aston Martin team principal, with reports suggesting current Audi boss Jonathan Wheatley is lined up to replace him as the Silverstone team scrambles to recover from a disastrous start to the 2026 Formula 1 season. Newey is expected to focus fully on technical matters as Aston Martin continue to struggle badly with the Honda-powered AMR26.  We also break down the latest Ferrari story after fresh claims that Fred Vasseur may have been right all along about the long game Ferrari played, even if it came at the cost of Lewis Hamilton’s first season with the team. Ferrari are also still facing debate after China, with Jacques Villeneuve arguing that the Hamilton-Leclerc fight hurt the team’s race.  There is also a big Mercedes angle developing, with reports suggesting McLaren could even be at risk of losing their Mercedes engine deal if Toto Wolff secures a stake in Alpine. On top of that, fresh scrutiny continues around Aston Martin after Lance Stroll reportedly stayed silent on team radio throughout the Chinese Grand Prix.  And finally, we look at another interesting Toto Wolff angle after claims that some of his pre-season praise for Red Bull now looks completely misplaced after the opening phase of the 2026 campaign.
