Bortoleto on adapting to 2026 cars
Audi driver Gabriel Bortoleto says Formula 1 drivers should be able to adapt to the 2026 cars rather than blaming results on differences in “driving style”. Bortoleto said: "I don't like the sentence 'driving style', because I don't believe that a Formula 1 driver should ever say that. We should be able to adapt, even if it's not natural maybe, but we should be able to adapt to any type of car and the way you need to drive, that's why we do what we do and that's why we are the 22 drivers in the world doing Formula 1."

Singh on McLaren's no-blame culture under Stella and Brown
McLaren racing director Randeep Singh said changes in leadership under team principal Andrea Stella and CEO Zak Brown have helped create a “no blame” culture within the team. Singh said: "The main thing is just the leadership changed with Andrea and Zak, and I think that's just empowered everyone to go about their jobs. There's no blame. But if you're doing things that are quite stressful that can go the wrong way because they're based off percentages, like doing the strategy, you sometimes get caught up in thinking, 'oh, what will people think if I make a mistake'. There's none of that here."

Russell on Mercedes avoiding complacency after strong start
George Russell says Mercedes cannot afford to become “complacent” despite its strong start to the season, with the team’s advantage having “dwindled” in recent rounds as Ferrari and McLaren have taken wins. Russell said: "Right now we cannot be complacent. Today we're winning. You would be confident that this will continue for a number of races. But if you get the next upgrade wrong, or Ferrari brings a big upgrade, or one kink in the chain stops working, this success can be in the past and can be history. You can't be too complacent in the good times. You can't be too low and negative in the bad times."

Newey on Aston Martin and Honda's 2026 relationship
Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey said the partnership’s “disastrous start” with Honda in 2026 has at least helped bring the two sides into a much closer working relationship. Newey said: "What's really progressed is actually the word you just used, relationship. Out of what can only be called a disastrous start, the positive of that, because you're always looking for positives, is that it's brought Honda and ourselves, AMR, into a very close working relationship."
