Toro Rosso will partner with Honda instead, according to multiple informed sources, in a swap set to be announced on Friday in between practice sessions at the Singapore Grand Prix. Sainz, a Red Bull contracted driver, is seen moving to Renault on loan for next season but some media reports have raised the prospect of the Spaniard replacing Palmer before then. "I have a contract, I've got seven more races this year," Palmer, who has yet to score a point this season, told reporters. As for next season, Palmer said he was aware of what was happening and was excited about what the future held. "I'm sorry if you’re coming here for some headlines or anything," the Spaniard told reporters.
