Tony Craig has the latest Formula 1 News.🔔 SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Aston Martin might be hunting a new saviour. Reports suggest Adrian Newey wants a reunion with former Red Bull chief designer Craig Skinner to help fix Aston Martin’s AMR26 project. But with garden leave, timing questions, and other teams potentially circling, is Aston really the most likely destination or is this move aimed elsewhere? We also have a fresh update on Christian Horner and Alpine, with new reporting suggesting a deal could be close ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season. If Horner arrives, what does it mean for Alpine’s stability, leadership, and driver futures, especially with pressure already building around certain seats? Plus, Ferrari fans will love this. New Bahrain test analysis points to a Ferrari SF26 traction advantage over Mercedes and McLaren, with reports suggesting earlier throttle application and stronger low speed grip. If that holds up in real race weekends, Ferrari could start 2026 with a serious edge. We also cover Bernie Ecclestone tipping Gabriel Bortoleto as a potential future world champion for Audi’s first full season, and the behind the scenes story of Jack Doohan’s Miami frustration that reportedly helped shape his F1 fate.
