The F1 season may have wrapped up but engines are still revving in many senses, as unsettled scores are addressed and the fresh campaign is being planned for.<\/p>\n

There is no rest for the wicked in this sport, with the likes of Mercedes and the chasing pack already drawing up blueprints to attempt to reel in the runaway titan that is Red Bull next season.<\/p>\n

The irrepressible Max Verstappen is causing his arch rival Lewis Hamilton many a sleepless night, though that isn’t the only headache the F1 legend has to contend with. His legal battle with Brazilian icon Felipe Massa very much endures, as the pair continue to squabble over historic title allegations.<\/p>\n

Hamilton’s people, and Massa’s, remain in discussions with fears constantly growing that the Briton could yet lose one of his illustrious F1 titles.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, elsewhere across the grid a spate of driving talent has now become available following the conclusion of several contracts. Teams will soon have a pick of talent available, as the shake-ups begins and the restructuring for the next campaign happens at frantic pace.<\/p>\n
