The world of Formula 1 is gearing up for a September full of announcements and novelties. Here are the key points of what Formula 1 fans and enthusiasts can expect in the coming month:
1. Budget Cap: Who Has Exceeded the Limits?
One of the most discussed topics this year has been the introduction of the budget cap in Formula 1 to ensure greater parity among teams. September will be the month when the names of the teams that have exceeded this limit in 2022 will be revealed. This could lead to penalties or other consequences for the teams in question.
2. AlphaTauri Name Change
Persistent rumors suggest that the team formerly known as AlphaTauri will undergo a branding transformation. With a likelihood of 90%, they might adopt the name “Hugo Boss Bulls.” This reflects ongoing negotiations with the iconic fashion brand Hugo Boss to become the main sponsor of the team.
3. Charles Leclerc’s Renewal: Decisions on the Horizon
Charles Leclerc, one of Formula 1’s brightest young talents, is ready to put pen to paper for contract renewal. His commitment and performances with Ferrari in recent years make him a valuable asset for the Scuderia as the Italian side hope to challenge Red Bull for the titles in 2024, while waiting for the 2026 regulation change.

4. Carlos Sainz’s Future: Uncertainties and Negotiations
While Charles Leclerc seems poised for reconfirmation, the future of his Maranello teammate Carlos Sainz remains shrouded in mystery for now. There are doubts about his continued presence at Scuderia Ferrari. Adding further spice to the mix, it appears that discussions have taken place between Sainz Sr., Carlos’s father, and other teams, including Alpine (Mattia Binotto joining the French team could have a key role in this decision, as he always expressed his appreciation for Carlos) and Audi. This could indicate a potential move for the Spanish driver to another team for the upcoming Formula 1 season.
