Former Sky Sports Formula 1 presenter Rachel Brookes has predicted a massive overhaul of the F1 grid, tipping four-time champion Max Verstappen to join Mercedes and McLaren's Oscar Piastri to replace him at Red Bull.
F1 is now in its summer break, and with that comes a lot of talk about potential driver movements for the upcoming season. While there have been no official announcements of team changes for any driver, speculation about who could go where is ramping up.
Speaking on the Essential F1 podcast, Brookes suggested several driver changes, including an all-British line-up at McLaren and moves to Audi, Alpine and Williams for Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Franco Colapinto.
"I still think Max is looking for an exit because he's showing us all what he can do right now and we're all impressed and we're like, 'Max is amazing', because he is," she began.
"But he wants to be winning again. He doesn't want to have to show that he can get a car that should be 10th up to second. He wants to be winning races again.
