Red Bull's engine partner Honda is to leave Formula 1 at the end of 2021.
The move leaves Red Bull and Alpha Tauri needing to find an engine supplier and the sport with just three engine companies.
Honda said the move was a result of the transformation of the car industry away from internal combustion engines.

Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time Formula One champion Michael, will take part in the opening practice session of the Eifel Grand Prix at Germany's Nurburgring circuit.
Schumacher, a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, will drive in place of Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi for the first session of that weekend. Giovinazzi will take over driving duties for the remainder of the event.

Pole sitter Lewis Hamilton, speaking earlier before the drivers went to the grid: "It is going to be very hard to win today. I am on the soft tyre. The medium and hard can do twice as much at least as the soft.
"It is going to require an awesome start and then some special driving to make the tyres do more than they can do."

Valtteri Bottas set the pace in opening practice for the Russian Grand Prix which was disrupted by a crash for Nicholas Latifi, while Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton was only 19th.

Start Tuscan Grand Prix - Hamilton got the a sluggish start, Bottas whipped ahead of him and Verstappen after an initial good get-away suddenly lost power and slide back through the pack before being shunted out into the gravel.
Gasly had nowhere to go. He had contact with Raikkonen who then went steaming into the back of Verstappen. Verstappen is fuming but his race already looked in tatters.

Valtteri Bottas has completed a clean sweep of practice sessions at the Tuscan Grand Prix.
The Finn, who was also fastest in both sessions on Friday, was 0.017 seconds quicker than Max Verstappen’s Red Bull.
1. Valterri Bottas 1:16.350
2. Max Verstappen +0.017
3. Lewis Hamilton +0.083
4. Lance Stroll +0.582
5. Pierre Gasly +0.696
6. Sergio Perez +0.811
7. Charles Leclerc +0.958
8.Alex Albon +1.008
9. Danni Kvyat +1.097
10. Romain Grosjean +1.105

Sergio Perez has revealed he is leaving Racing Point at the end of this season in a shock announcement released on Wednesday evening.
The Mexican driver said the 2020 season would be his last with the Silverstone-based squad, despite the fact he signed a three-year contract just last year.
He added that he has no "Plan B" in terms of a drive for 2021, and that the move "hurts a bit as I bet on the team during very rough times"

An incredible 2020 Italian Grand Prix saw AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly claim a maiden Formula 1 win from the McLaren of Carlos Sainz and the Racing Point of Lance Stroll, as a transgression under the Safety Car saw polesitter Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton forced to serve a 10-second stop/go penalty, leaving him seventh at the flag.
