Hamilton on F1's current power delivery issues
Lewis Hamilton says F1’s current power delivery still gives him “a weird feeling” and “doesn’t feel like what motorsport should be”, echoing Max Verstappen’s criticism after they finished second and third at the Canadian Grand Prix. Hamilton said: "It's definitely not second nature, that's for sure. It continues to be a weird feeling. You go down the power, you open up the SM, and then the power dies halfway down the straight, and the RPM starts dropping. It doesn't feel like what motorsport should be. The engine should be ringing its neck off right to the end of the straight."
Lewis Hamilton agrees with Max Verstappen over 'weird feeling'

Piastri said: "It is news to me, yes. There's obviously not been any discussions or anything but it's flattering, yes. There's not really much more than that, really. Hopefully it proves my stock as a driver, which is a nice thing, but I'm very happy with where I am."

Hamilton on Ferrari power deficit against Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari’s power deficit is keeping them from being able to fight Mercedes, as the FIA prepares to apply its new Additional Development Upgrade Opportunity regulations for the first time. Hamilton said: "If you take away the power deficit, we're in the fight with these guys. But unfortunately that's not the way it is today. Even when you get the overtake [mode], when you get within a second, they still pull away. So that's how much grunt that they have, and we're massively down. But I really hope with this new rule that enables us to try to improve [and find] some performance, so we can get back in the fight with them."

Ben Sulayem proposes ending FIA term limits
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem is proposing the removal of term limits for the presidency, a change that would allow him to stay in the role beyond the current maximum of three four-year terms, or 12 years. The statute change will be discussed and voted on at next month’s FIA General Assembly and is expected to pass, with the FIA saying it is intended to create a “consistent approach to tenure across all FIA bodies” and that it remains “subject to approval by the World Councils and by the General Assembly”.

Krack said: "At the end of the day, from a reliability point of view, aside to the operational stuff that we mentioned earlier, I think, you know, on the PU side, there was not a single issue, not a single fault.

Permane on Racing Bulls following technical regulations with Red Bull
Alan Permane says Racing Bulls are “very rigorously” following Formula 1’s technical regulations in their relationship with Red Bull Racing, after McLaren CEO Zak Brown wrote to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem criticising dual ownership and suggesting Racing Bulls had acted to aid the senior Red Bull team. Permane said: "Our relationship with Red Bull Racing is very much a customer-supplier relationship. We take some suspension from them, we take gearboxes from them, and various other components that are allowed under the technical regulations, which we follow very rigorously. A lot of work goes into ensuring that we are respecting those rules. So, I don't see any issue with the way we operate currently."

Kimi Antonelli says he is not thinking about the Formula 1 world title yet, despite leading the championship by 43 points.

And of course, now I have this gap but that doesn't mean that I can relax and just take it easier. Instead, I need to keep levelling up and keep raising the bar because it's not going to be easy and competitors are getting closer, and also George is super quick."

Brundle said: "In his despair, he threw his headrest down the road and out front of the car, for which he would be fined €5,000 suspended for 12 months. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned as a way to process the extreme adrenalin flow and disappointment. Been there, done that."

Villeneuve helmet sells for record $1.25 million
The helmet Gilles Villeneuve wore in his final Formula 1 race, the 1982 San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, has been sold for a record $1.25 million, just over €1 million, according to Darren Jack, CEO of Hall of Fame Collection, which handled the sale. Jack said its rarity was a major factor, adding: "The GPA helmet itself is an extremely rare model in the collectors' world. In addition, this is one of only five – perhaps even fewer – racing helmets worn by Gilles Villeneuve that still exist." The sale sets a new world record for a racing helmet, beating the previous mark set last year when Ayrton Senna's 1992 Belgian Grand Prix helmet sold for £720,000.

Brundle on Russell's Canadian Grand Prix retirement and points deficit
Martin Brundle says Mercedes driver George Russell has to believe “what goes around comes around” after retiring from the lead of the Canadian Grand Prix with a Mercedes power unit failure, leaving him 43 points behind team-mate Andrea Kimi Antonelli after five rounds of the 2026 season. Martin Brundle said: "George Russell is now 43 points behind his teenage team-mate, that's equivalent to a first and second place, and he has to believe that what goes around comes around. There's still a very long way to go but McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull are not going to stand still either."
