Max Verstappen may have wrapped up the F1 drivers’ world championship last time out at the Japanese GP, but there is plenty still to fight for including the constructors’ crown which mathematically Red Bull can seal this weekend at COTA.

The saga is set to reignite the F1 cost cap debate and what penalties teams that fall foul of it may face, with McLaren boss Zak Brown writing to the FIA to state that a cost cap breach “constitutes cheating”.
