Jolyon Palmer has offered his services to Williams for next season, according to the still-Renault driver’s father, Jonthan Palmer.

The French team slipped the British driver his pink sheet last weekend in Singapore as Carlos Sainz joins the yellow outfit for 2018.

Palmer responded positively however, achieving a career-best F1 finish on Sunday, concluding his Singapore GP in sixth place, a result which will hopefully boost his prospects for next season.

“I hope I can build on this confidence,” he said.

“Of course I want to stay in Formula 1, and there are other options. Whatever happens, happens.”

• Palmer shines and clinches best-ever F1 finish

Palmer’s father, UK racing circuit mogul Jonathan, is hawking his son’s talents up and down the paddock at present.

The best opportunity is Williams, which is undecided on Felipe Massa’s future and whose short list is rumored to include Robert Kubica, Paul di Resta, Marcus Ericsson and now, Jolyon Palmer.

Palmer senior believes his boy could be a genuine contender for the coveted seat, if he can sustain his Singapore momentum in the upcoming races.

“A few good races and Williams might take notice,” said the former F1 driver who actually made his F1 debut with Williams back in 1983.

“Williams will want to take their best option and he has the chance to show he is that over the next few races.”

Max Verstappen managed to out-qualify his Red Bull team mate Daniel Ricciardo this weekend, for the eighth time this season.

The pair will start tomorrow’s Belgian Grand Prix alongside each other on the third row. Verstappen will be in fifth place, having finished nearly half a second faster than Ricciardo.

For the Dutch driver – who is unequivocally the star of the show as far as the huge number of fans at Spa-Francorchamps are concerned – the day was a definite success.

“It was good. I really enjoyed it, a bit like last year,” he said. “Of course last year was second position, but my lap today felt pretty similar.

“It was on the limit. I got all the sectors together, and not very often you have that. For me it was the perfect qualifying.

“It couldn’t have been better to be honest as I feel I put everything together and got the best performance out of the car possible.

“I am positively surprised we are so close to Ferrari,” he added.

But with the rows ahead packed out by Mercedes and Ferrari cars, Verstappen is keenly aware that he faces a difficult task in the race if the rain stays away.

“Lewis was way ahead. But in the race I think we can be closer, so perhaps a good result is possible.

“It will be difficult to beat them,” he admitted. “I think we can be closer so perhaps a good result is possible. Our strength is in sector 2 so we will work even harder there to improve a bit. But in general the balance of the car was great

“You need a bit of luck as well. Anything can happen on this track,” he said. “It looks dry – hopefully it will change!” he added. “Let’s wait and see tomorrow.”

He said that the massive support from the masses of Dutch fans at Spa had really made a difference to his weekend.

“On my fast laps I was concentrating too much,” he said. “But on my in lap I could see the orange crowd and smoke from all the fans.

“It’s a good motivation because next to the track is all orange,” he chuckled.

“This is amazing to see. As I left the pit lane there was a guy on the fence in all orange waving me on. It’s awesome!”

Carlos Sainz could be heading to Renault as soon as the Malaysian Grand Prix, according to reports in the European press on Saturday.

An exclusive story from German language website Motorsport-Total.com says that Sainz’ move from Toro Rosso is the linchpin of a complex deal centred on the break-up of the McLaren/Honda partnership.

Sainz had wanted to move to Renault last year. However Toro Rosso has been steadfast in insisting that the Spanish driver is under contract to them for another season. According to the latest reports, the Red Bull management has finally been persuaded to release him early.

If true, it will leave current Renault driver Jolyon Palmer out in the cold. It follows a frustrating season so far for the Briton. But that will just be the first of many shockwaves resulting from the deal, which was reportedly signed on Friday. It has also been approved by McLaren.

Highly rated Red Bull junior driver Pierre Gasly would take over from Sainz at Toro Rosso for the remainder of the season. The 2016 GP2 Series champion has been competing in the Japanese Super Formula Championship, waiting for an opening in Formula 1.

Engine ‘not the biggest factor’ in deciding Alonso’s future

However Gasly’s promotion might prove to be short-lived. According to Motorsport-Total.com, Honda protégé Nobuharu Matsushita is to participate in Free Practice 1 sessions with Toro Rosso. The Formula 2 driver could then get his full-time break in Formula 1 next season alongside Daniil Kvyat.

Matsushita had been working with McLaren as part of the Honda partnership arrangement. If he leaves Woking, Formula 3 European Championship leader Lando Norris is likely to take up his development place at McLaren.

The next domino expected to fall is Toro Rosso parting from engine partner Renault. Under the new deal, it will instead receive power units from Honda in 2018. And if all goes well, the senior Red Bull race team could then follow suit in 2019.

Toro Rosso’s switch clears a spot for McLaren to receive Renault power units. The team is desperate to end its current arrangement with Honda, which has been beset by chronic performance and reliability issues. Renault had wanted a ‘sweetener’ such as procuring Sainz to justify agreeing to the deal.

Toro Rosso will need McLaren to supply transmission units to work with the Honda power units. Red Bull management is banking on Honda finally overcoming its various issues within the next 12 months.

Switching to Renault power might enable McLaren to convince Fernando Alonso to stay at the team for another season. His current contract expires at the end of this year, and the two-time world champion has been evaluating his options for several weeks.

McLaren is likely to sign the contract with Renault on Monday. An official announcement is to be expected ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix race weekend.

Always on the cutting edge of technology, Formula 1 will introduce a biometric glove for drivers next season which will monitor several medical factors.

The technology includes a small sensor stitched inside a driver’s glove capable of measuring pulse rate and oxygen levels in the blood, two parameters essential in addressing a driver’s medical condition in the event of an accident.

Ultimately, the technology, which is supported by the Global Institute for Motor Sport safety, will also have the ability to monitor body temperature and respiratory rate.

Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull drivers tested the special biometric glove in Hungary this summer.

In an interview with the FIA’s in-house magazine Auto, FIA Deputy Medical Delegate Dr Ian Roberts spoke of the merits of the technology and its purpose.

• A driver-less Safety Car in F1? Believe it says Budkowski

“We know that the monitoring of people is essential in terms of their medical care,” he said.
“Drivers in incidents are no different. We would like to start monitoring and assessing them as soon as we possibly can.

“But the equipment that we currently use is relatively bulky and is only applied after the incident has happened.

“There are also times when the driver isn’t immediately accessible to us, so if we can’t see him or we’re not actually next to him, there’s limited information that we can get.”

As an example of the technology’s function and use, Roberts pointed towards Carlos Sainz’ accident in practice in Russia in 2015, when the Spaniard was trapped under a barrier, making his condition impossible to assess.

“Accurate monitoring was impossible until we got hands-on, and obviously we couldn’t do that until the barriers were moved,” he said.

“If we had monitoring on him straight away we could have planned our rescue even better than we did.

“With this new technology, the moment a driver has an incident we will receive physiological readings and biometrics, so he is continually monitored from point zero right through to the initial response and on to the medical center.”

Red Bull boss Christian Horner was searing following the US Grand Prix Steward’s decision to penalise Max Verstappen and deprive the Dutch driver of a well-deserved podium finish.

Verstappen carved through the field from the outset after starting 16th following a grid penalty, with his charge ending hot on the heels of Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.

The Red Bull driver successfully challenged and overtook the Finn on the inside of Turn 17 on the final lap, securing an impressive third place finish.

But a five second penalty for exceeding track limits and gaining an advantage wreaked havoc on his podium plans.

“There’s been cars going off track all day today and no action at all, so I think it would be unbelievably harsh to give Max a penalty,” Horner told Sky Sports.

“It’s wrong. We’ll have a look at it, but for me it was fair, hard racing. I think that’s a bad judgement by the stewards to have made that call.

“He did it the hard way. We’ve seen cars off track all day today, all weekend, so to penalise him at this stage, that’s not right.”
