Aston Martin Sign a HUGE deal, Hamilton To FERRARI & New FIA Yellow Flag Restrictions

This week on News from the Nerds, Oli takes a spin in the host seat and is joined by Abby and Sam to run through the top news ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. On this week’s agenda:

Monaco Grand Prix:
After the cancellation of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, Formula 1 is back racing on the streets of Monte Carlo. But the weather is looking to make it a wet weekend across all on-track sessions, so will we get a replica of last year's race? F2 and F3 are also racing in Monaco, with it being F3's first time at the street circuit.

AlphaTauri is Not For Sale:
Helmut Marko of Red Bull Racing has put to rest the rumours surrounding the sale of AlphaTauri after Red Bull admitted that the second team costs too much. Is retaining AlphaTauri as a second team to Red Bull the right decision?

Ferrari and Wolff Deny Hamilton Rumours:
The rumour mill has also focused on Lewis Hamilton as of late with rumours that he will be joining Ferrari due to Mercedes lack of a competitive car. But Toto Wolff has squashed the rumours, denying Hamilton's move to Ferrari. Is there any truth to these rumours?
