Briatore on Aston Martin's difficult 2026 start

Flavio Briatore says Aston Martin’s difficult start to the 2026 season shows that state-of-the-art facilities and top engineers alone are not enough to be competitive in Formula 1. Briatore said: "Sure, maybe somebody has a better facility. But we see as well the example of Aston Martin, with the best facility in the world, and the best engineer in the world. It's not so competitive, you know? It's only a question of the people need to believe it's possible to win. Put [in] all the effort."

Stella on Norris and Piastri relationship at McLaren

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says the relationship between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri has become even stronger. Stella said: "It wasn't a given that, after last year – when they found themselves battling for the world title right up to the final race – the harmony they'd built would remain intact. Yet not only has this not changed, but the relationship between them and with the team has actually become even stronger. Whilst this might, in a sense, have been expected of Lando – given that he was ultimately the one to become champion – it was not quite so predictable for Oscar."

Komatsu on Haas' financial limitations

Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says the team’s biggest limitation in trying to make the next step in Formula 1 is financial, with its smaller headcount and resources meaning it takes longer to turn solutions into parts on the car. Komatsu said: "It’s mainly financial. In terms of structure, I don’t see a big problem. Yes, it can be better, but there are many more things [to do] before we have to change any structure that we can put in place with a slightly better revenue, to be able to give people more resources, better software, better tools, the ability to improve the process, procedure, etc. Everything takes time and human being resources, to do that, it’s revenue."

Lindblad on Racing Bulls' constructors' fight with Alpine

Arvid Lindblad says Racing Bulls should keep pushing and focusing on itself in its constructors’ championship fight with Alpine, with just five points separating the teams. Lindblad said: "We're fighting Alpine and we're seven-eight tenths quicker in quali. I don't think it's really about hanging on. I think it's about continuing to focus on ourselves and bring updates, which I know the team has got good stuff coming. So I really don't think the mindset's hanging on, it's about pushing on."

Resta on more intense second half after summer shutdown

Mercedes deputy technical director Simone Resta says the second half of the season will be “more intense” after the summer shutdown, with pressure rising on teams fighting for championships. Resta said: "History tells us that the championship always changes after the summer shutdown. The pressure increases on the teams that are leading, but equally it increases on the teams trying to catch up. The environment becomes more intense, and every result carries more weight."

Verstappen on Dutch GP not feeling like a Zandvoort farewell

Max Verstappen says he is not treating the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix as a farewell to Zandvoort, suggesting other events could still be held at the circuit even if this is the last Formula 1 race there for some time. Verstappen said: "I'm taking a down-to-earth view of it, though. It is indeed the last Formula 1 race, but the circuit will still be there, and other series will continue to come there. Test days can still be organised there, so it doesn't feel like a farewell to me. Of course, the massive orange celebration might come to an end, but we might be able to bring some of that back with a demo day, like in the past."

Lowdon on Cadillac's Fishers factory construction timeline

Cadillac Formula 1 team principal Graeme Lowdon says the team is still building its new Fishers factory and other facilities while racing, with the Indianapolis site expected to start operating in broad terms next year. Lowdon said: "We're still building. It's building the plane while flying in it. We're still building factories... [The Fishers factory] is still in construction at the moment. It'll be phased, because it's 450,000 square feet. It's not small... [Asked if things would start next year at Fishers] In broad terms, yes. It's very well advanced, the whole construction there, but it's a huge project."
