2018 Spanish Grand Prix

Williams has confirmed the departure of chief designer Ed Wood ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 race in Spain, citing “personal reasons”.

Red Bull Formula 1 drivers Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen claim they will not be subject to team orders despite their clash during last month’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but said they may be told to “calm down a bit” to prevent a repeat of the collision.

Force India Formula 1 chief Vijay Mallya believes Sergio Perez's podium finish at last month's Azerbaijan Grand Prix can act as the turning point in the team's year as it bids to carry momentum into the start of the European season.
