A tumultuous day in Formula 1 has generated hot topics on RallyBuzz: Oscar Piastri is reportedly being considered by Ferrari for 2027, the Italian team itself is experiencing a moment of tension and has convened its top management, Aston Martin has blocked a potential return of Christian Horner as CEO, Mohammed Ben Sulayem is poised for re-election as FIA president, and Gabriel Bortoleto has projected a reaction for Austin after a tough weekend in Singapore.
According to a report echoed by RallyBuzz, Piastri – the current championship leader with McLaren – is considering a move to Ferrari in 2027, a scenario that emerges amidst the sour climate following Singapore with Lando Norris and the memory of the “undercut” in Monza. However, McLaren has played down the situation: Andrea Stella stated that “this is the kind of characteristic we want our drivers to have” when commenting on the Australian’s radio statements; the team also explained the alleged “cut” in Zak Brown’s speech and Piastri’s absence from the constructors’ podium due to media commitments.
Meanwhile, Ferrari is going through an internal crisis and has promoted an emergency meeting with its top executives. The context involves sporting instability and contractual uncertainties for 2026, with the need to reorganize priorities and regain performance after signs of wear on the project.
Behind the scenes, another development gained attention: according to RallyBuzz, Horner sought to return to the position of CEO at Aston Martin, but was vetoed by Lawrence Stroll. The rejection reinforces that the door, at least for now, remains closed in Silverstone for the director.
In the political sphere, Ben Sulayem is expected to be re-elected as FIA president virtually unopposed, maintaining the continuity of the regulatory plan that will shape the F1 of the next few years – a relevant factor amidst the transition of rules in 2026 and the pressure for costs and governance.
On the Brazilian front, Bortoleto made a sincere assessment of Sunday’s performance in Marina Bay and is already looking to recover at the US Grand Prix. “Singapore is a circuit where I knew it would be difficult to overtake… I hope that in Austin the performance improves,” said the Sauber driver, projecting a more competitive car on a more fluid track to try to return to the points zone.
The next stage of F1 is the US Grand Prix in Austin, in two weeks. RallyBuzz will follow everything in real-time, with complete coverage of practices, qualifying, and the race.
