Is this F1's busiest 'off-season' yet? There's been an overdose of stories in this period: from Mercedes hiring Valtteri Bottas as Nico Rosberg's replacement, F1's sale and Bernie Ecclestone being forcibly replaced to Montoya's Race of Champions victory on debut and Sebastian Vettel's single-handled efforts winning Germany their 7th Race of Champion Nations Cup.
We tell you why F1 would never go the Race of Champions way, even if it is a fun format. We also decode why Max Verstappen might never participate in the ROC.
Pascal Wehrlein's crash was heart-stopping! Does it worry Monisha Kaltenborn about her budgets for 2017? And did anyone notice the fan seated next to Wehrlein?
Through the entire crash, this fan was on his (or her) phone shooting content. We'd love to see the fan's footage.
Finally, F1's sale saw the unthinkable but the long overdue happen - Ecclestone's dismissal. Much like F1 hopes to benefit by bringing Ross Brawn back, we're sure the sport can benefit much by bringing back the uber talented and mercurial Montoya.
