Sky Sports: We bring you some breaking news. Pierre Gasly will replace Daniil Kvyat for the remaining 6 rounds of the 2017 formula 1 season. After an absolute shocking season so Red Bull decided to cut ties with Daniil Kvyat early and drop him for the remainder of the season

Meanwhile in the Singapore hotel...

Tyler: Ok. I got somethings sorted out and here is the transfer to say the least. So, Coridel will have a 57.5% stake, Aston Martin will have 25% stake, Jenson Button will have 7.5% stake in the brand and Celes will have 10% as his first investment.

Andy: Yes. That's it.

Tyler: Are we all in favor of this.

Andy nodded, as did Button and Celes who simply shrugged. Tyler took that as everyone was in agreement as they all signed the deal.

Celes: I'll be out. I have a date with E.U to attend. Catch you around.

Tyler simply chuckled and allowed Celes to leave.

Sky Sports: We have some breaking in Formula 1. Button has announced he will leave Mclaren and join Blanc & Eclare next year. Button has not commented yet and will explain everything. In addition Coridel has bought a majority stake in Aston Martin alongside Jenson Button and will rebrand Blanc & Eclare into Aston Martin Blanc & Eclare.

Interviewer: Jenson if we can start with the breaking news. How did this come about?
Button: Well suffice to say I have been thinking about this new chapter in a very long time to say. I have left McLaren for a new chapter in my career as team principal. I intend to finish the job here as much as possible and as such will hope to end the season with a high.

Interviewer: Jessica onto you now well suffice to say that this is a major win as it shows that your team has made a statement. How did you manage this?

Jessica: Well I can't say much on this. I did not really have a say. Button here just told me his interest in joining the team and Tyler took care of the rest. He also has some shares in the Aston Martin car brand and the team which will be sorted out next year as we rebrand into Aston Martin Blanc & Eclare. It's a historic name in the world as a luxury car manufacturer and also in motorsport. It helps the team as a whole to attract new partners and sponsors to the car and helps at least Coridel's ambition of expanding into other ventures in motorsports. It helps that they are returning into WEC soon and if it proves ideal would like to be in LMP1 as well. Plus it's a cool brand. We've all watched James Bond haven't we (Laughter).

BBC: Question to both Button and Jessica. With this new partnership and Coridel's portfolio. For Button will you be looking into Coridel for more business ventures and Jessica how will this affect your clothing line and the engine?

Button: For sure I will be looking into it but right now I can only tell you so much since. But yah it is very exciting as I intend to start a motorsport team and having Aston Martin, one cool ass brand and British as well will be awesome to have.

Jessica: For me it will be fine as my clothing line I call all the shots so far and they better not interfere. But regarding the engine it will simply be rebranded into Aston Martin. It's still a Porsche engine after all. But I dunno if I wanna gloat or something because I can basically tell them thanks? (Laughter).

Qualifying...

Qualifying began on Saturday. Unfortuantely I will be taking a grid penalty tomorrow due to me changing my gearbox because it blew up in FP3 and they are scrambling to get it fixed for the qualifying session and apparently one of my smaller engine components got f*cked over and now it is basically a 10-place grid penalty for tomorrow. The mechanics are really doing their best to send me out for qualifying but honestly I won't be surprised completely if I miss qualifying today. I am seated in the car waiting before they gave me the green light and I moved out of the pit to set my lap time. I managed to move on into Q2 and thankfully it was not much of a trouble. But during in in-lap which was pretty good my brakes broke I am started to go into the wall but managed to stop it before the gravel.
