## Resource

It's all change at Aston Martin's F1 team — but all is not as it seems. Mark Hughes cuts through the noise to explain why Adrian Newey is set to step down as team principal; the clash at the top of the team that started it all; and why Jonathan Wheatley might be the perfect replacement. Plus: Why you shouldn't write Max Verstappen off in the Japanese Grand Prix, and the potential reason Mercedes is interested in an Alpine stake.
