There is widespread dismay and discomfort within Formula 1 teams and drivers about the way the FIA is being run.

But the drivers are not keen to make that too obvious publicly.

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur was not happy at all after reports in two leading Italian newspapers in Italy that his position was in question.

John Yuki Tsunoda looks certain to be dropped by Red Bull unless he can find major uplift in performance.

Mercedes showed a significant upturn in performance at the Canadian Grand Prix .

The new rear suspension is aimed at increasing anti-lift - ie, keeping the aerodynamic platform more stable, to keep rear downforce more consistent, and rear grip higher.

F1 is still keen to have a grand prix in Africa , but finding the right location is proving problematic.
