Is Vergne forcing his way into Red Bull contention?
Jean-Eric Vergne wasn't in the immediate frame for a 2014 Red Bull drive - at least, not until superlative drives in Monaco and Canada. As Edd Straw analyses, the Frenchman couldn't have timed it better...
Jean-Eric Vergne has an impeccable sense of timing. With the moment rapidly approaching when Red Bull must decide who to pair Sebastian Vettel with in 2014, the 23-year-old has hit the most convincing run of his Formula 1 career.
As the cover story of last week's AUTOSPORT discussed, Kimi Raikkonen and Mark Webber are both on the short-list, but of the Scuderia Toro Rosso drivers only Daniel Ricciardo was considered a serious contender.
