The world of motorsport is in mourning following the shock death of visionary rally driver Ken Block, Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer has conceded an early advantage held by the team within F1's new financial regulations is now beginning to dissipate as rival teams discover loopholes and Max Verstappen has conceded to failing to understand why he and Lewis Hamilton are unable to race cleanly.

Drivers were asked to assess the performances of all their rivals and come up with a list of the top 10 performers.

Formula One is about the glitz and glamor. And of course, a lot of the hype that builds up to every single Grand Prix, but sometimes the tracks don't match up to the hype that surrounds the event. Here are some of the overhyped circuits and perhaps some of the tracks that we would be happy to see removed from a stacked Formula One calendar.

Lando Norris has dismissed suggestions that Daniel Ricciardo's struggles with McLaren were due to a car designed to suit the Briton.

Lewis Hamilton has suggested rival Max Verstappen behaves differently around him on track due to his success in F1 with Mercedes while Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has responded to rumours linking him with a sensational move to Ferrari following Mattia Binotto's resignation.
