#3 Ricciardo, Gasly and Sainz switch teams for 2019
Chopping and changing among drivers isn't new to F1, but this season has been topsy-turvy in this department to say the very least. Daniel Ricciardo set off a chain of events recently after it was confirmed that the Australian had signed with Renault for the 2019 season. The shocking move came as a surprise to even his employers at Red Bull and the search for a replacement was on.

Enter Pierre Gasly. The 22-year-old has impressed many with his performances this season but even he didn't expect to be drafted into the big leagues just yet. Moving from Toro-Rosso to partner Max Verstappen at Red Bull, it is pretty much a dream come true for the Frenchman.
Elsewhere, the retirement of Fernando Alonso opened the door for a new face at McLaren and Alonso's friend Carlos Sainz Jr. has now taken up that mantle, leaving Renault in the process. Renault won't mind it much though, with Ricciardo acting as a more than able replacement in the driver's seat.
