With Felipe Massa and 2009 world champion Jenson Button resolving their futures over the Italian Grand Prix weekend, Formula One is waiting for Renault to make the next move in the driver market.

The yellow team are expected to make significant progress under the new regulations in 2017 and, as such, have been linked to a number of drivers eager to further their careers with a full-blown factory operation.

But with no outstanding candidates emerging, Renault have decided to delay a decision on their 2017 lineup as they continue to search for a driver who can lead them for years to come.

Renault lost that driver approximately 12 months ago, when Romain Grosjean decided to leave Team Enstone and gamble on the brand-new, Ferrari-affiliated Haas outfit.

Despite claiming a number of strong results at the beginning of the campaign, that gamble seemed to have failed when Grosjean was overlooked by Ferrari, who decided to retain Kimi Raikkonen for 2017.

The Frenchman remains hopeful that his chance to climb onto the Prancing Horse's saddle will come eventually, but he has admitted his current position at Haas does not guarantee him a future with Ferrari.

Another contender for a 2018 Ferrari seat is Sergio Perez, who has rebuilt his career since leaving McLaren almost three years ago.

Having registered four podium finishes in less than three seasons, the Mexican has found a home at Force India and has lifted the lid on the success of the Mercedes customer team.

Elsewhere, Carlos Sainz Jr. has outlined why this weekend's Singapore GP will be a pivotal race in Toro Rosso's season, while Williams' technical boss Pat Symonds has commended Red Bull for helping to devise the 2017 regulations.

Here's this week's roundup.
