Lance Stroll may well make the widely expected switch from Williams to Force India at the Italian Grand Prix next weekend, F1i.com quoted Germany's Auto Motor und Sport as reporting.During the summer break, the Silverstone-based squad was taken over by a consortium backed by the Canadian's billionaire father Lawrence after entering administration during the last Grand Prix event in Hungary a month ago.Naturally, that triggered suggestions that it was a matter of 'when' not 'if' his son would leave Williams, who have struggled all season with a flawed car design, with guesses ranging from this weekend in Belgium to the start of the 2019 season.However, an unfolding situation at Spa-Francorchamps on Thursday is now pointing to the next race at Monza as the most likely when any changes will be possible.Force India's participation in the race on Sunday is still to be confirmed because when Stroll completed the takeover, it only included the team's assets and not the parent company which holds the entry for this year's world championship.As a result, Liberty Media is trying to secure the unanimous agreement from the remaining nine teams for an entry to be given to the new parent company.Renault, Williams and McLaren blocked an initial effort and it is thought that will come at the expense of all the points Force India has scored in the first 12 races.So the team, likely under a new name, would start from zero again but would be eligible for championship points and, more importantly, prize money from the commercial rights holder.

The latest update is the team's cars have passed scrutineering and appear set to race under the Force India name, something which coincided with driver Sergio Perez's view when speaking in the paddock.

"So, it's business as usual. I'm here to drive and do my job and I'm looking forward to enjoying the weekend, focusing on the driving. That's my priority," said the Mexican.

Looking forward too, Perez claims his future with the team has been decided with him set to stay on.

"I know what I'm doing for next year, so when there is a time to communicate, I think I will communicate," he added.

"I think there are other priorities than communicating what my future is, so we're here racing, focusing on Spa, and as I said it's just a matter of time before I'm able to confirm.

"But for now, I know what I'm doing for next year, so no more to say on that."

That means teammate Esteban Ocon is the driver set to be dropped to allow for Stroll's arrival at Monza according to Auto Motor und Sport, but they claim the Frenchman will be heading to McLaren to replace the underperforming Stoffel Vandoorne instead.

"I don't know if I will move to McLaren, I don't know if I will be moving from here," he said in response.

"At the moment, these are just rumours and we will see. What is important is always to perform on track and as I always say, if you perform on track then an F1 team can't get rid of you if you perform.

"That is my target and I want to do the same as I have done in the first half of the season, trying to do the best I can. If I do that, I will have a seat next year."

Completing what would be the trio of driver changes in Italy, the German outlet claims Williams reserve driver Robert Kubica would make a much-anticipated full comeback for the remainder of the season alongside Sergey Sirotkin.
