The Italian Grand Prix was one of those weekends when the racing got in the way of the rumours in the Formula One paddock.

It all started on Thursday afternoon when Felipe Massa—one of the most popular figures on the current grid—announced his retirement from F1 at the end of 2016.

The Brazilian's impending departure has created a vacancy alongside Valtteri Bottas, and it was initially thought Felipe Nasr would be replacing his compatriot for next season.

But it appears Williams are eager to unearth their own answer to Max Verstappen, with teenager Lance Stroll already agreeing to race for the team in principle.

Two days after the Massa bombshell came the news from McLaren-Honda, who finally confirmed Stoffel Vandoorne will replace Jenson Button in one of the more predictable moves of silly season.

But nobody could have predicted the agreement that will see Button remain with the team for another two years, with the 2009 world champion explaining why he may yet return to racing in 2018.

On the morning of the race, it emerged GP2 driver Pierre Gasly could replace Daniil Kvyat in time for the Singapore GP, but this was later denied by Red Bull before arguably the biggest story of the lot came to light.

With the news that CVC Capital Partners is on the verge of selling F1 to the Liberty Media Corporation—and potentially ending Bernie Ecclestone's leadership of the sport—here's our post-Italian GP roundup.
