According to a senior F1 journalist, yes. As reported by other media sources, strong rumours have taken the Formula 1 world by storm on Wednesday morning.
Whilst the most recent race at Imola wasn’t the most exciting one this season has offered, it has been an interesting opening to the latest season. According to reports, it could be about to go a step further with a big twist. According to Spanish F1 journalist Alberta Fabrega, two drivers are about to swap teams, although he didn’t confirm in his press conference, which drivers they are.
“The market is already moving. Things are moving but I can’t say because they told me not to say anything,” Fabrega said on the rumour.
“The one that leaves does not surprise me, the one that arrives yes. [… ] Well, it is a change of drivers between teams
Whilst there was no extra information on who could be the drivers involved, there has been some rumours that Lewis Hamilton could be one of those changing teams. The Mercedes driver has struggled so far this season, even seeing himself lapped by Verstappen on the way to the Dutchman’s victory in Italy
Another rumour generated by the Spanish journalist’s reveal claimed that the swap could see Daniel Ricciardo swap McLaren for Alpha Tauri, with Pierre Gasly going in the opposite direction.
The Australian, like Hamilton, has struggled this season and has regularly finished behind teammate Lando Norris since joining McLaren, at the start of last season.
Four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel, who scored his and his teams first points of the season in the most recent Grand Prix, could be involved in a swap with Williams’ Alex Albon, with the young driver heading the other way to Aston Martin.
Time will tell as to which of these swaps, if any, come to fruition.
