Latest F1 News

Sutil to Ferrari?
After being dumped by Force India, could Adrian Sutil be about to move up in the world. After solid drives for the Indian team this year, he may have caught the attention of Ferrari. At the moment, it looks like a long shot, but Adrian Sutil could be Ferrari driver in the near future. Now, Felipe Massa has a contract for next year, but it runs out by the end of 2012. So, Adrian may replace Massa, meaning the Brazilian will be due compensation for his contract. Or, more likely, Adrian will be their third driver this year, and then replace Massa for the start of 2013. Again, this is highly unlikely at the moment, but stranger things have happened in F1.

Bruno Senna to Sign For Williams
In the race for that second Williams seat, Bruno Senna seems to have stole a lead. It would seem, that with the sponsorships he brings, and the speed he has, he could be the right guy for the job. It would mean that Rubens Barrichello would be without a seat for next year, and probably see him out of F1 forever. In a very sad move for Rubens and Brazilian F1, it would be a move which has been coming for some time. Rubens only just beat Pastor Maldonado this year. Though many fans would prefer to see him retire, rather than to just loose his seat.

Petrov To Caterham?
Martin Brundle has fuelled a cracker of an F1-rumour, with the suggestion that Vitaly Petrov may move to Caterham. After being dropped by Lotus Renault, the Russian is looking for a seat. He seems to be out of the picture for the Williams seat, but he may be about to move to another team - Caterham. He could be about to displace Jarno Trulli in the Malaysian team. Jarno has a contract for next season, though it doesn't not confirm him a race seat. He may take the test driver role, while Petrov takes his seat. Vitaly would bring sponsorship to Caterham, and would bring more competition to Heikki Kovalainen. It would just leave a question mark over Trulli, who may not be too happy with this move, and may want more than a test driver role.
