Domenicali on drivers criticising 2026 power unit regulations
Formula 1 president Stefano Domenicali says drivers are free to criticise the sport’s 2026 power unit regulations, but he would rather debate any concerns behind closed doors and in a constructive way. Domenicali said: "You know me, we are not here to put tape on the mouth of anyone. The beauty of our sport is that everyone can have an opinion, but the opinion is an opinion. There is someone who has the duty to have a line. There are certain drivers that prefer, of course, certain things. That in the process we have highlighted the need to be constructive in that respect."

Newey on Aston Martin and Honda relationship progress
Adrian Newey says he is “very happy” with the progress in Aston Martin’s relationship with Honda after what he described as a “disastrous start” to their partnership. Newey said: "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. We continue to develop that in all areas. So, I'm very happy with the progress we're making from a relationship point of view. Normally, if relationships improve, then performance also improves."

Stella on April break as turning point in McLaren season
Andrea Stella says the enforced break in April was a key turning point in McLaren’s season because it gave the team time to fully reassess the MCL40, even if he described the pause as a “paradox” in how it ultimately helped. Stella said: "There wasn't a single event that changed course; rather, it was a growing awareness of the scale of the challenge we're facing and the adjustments we needed to make. Paradoxically, the enforced break in April probably allowed us to focus entirely on analysing the MCL40's performance and to fully understand that we needed to redirect or strengthen its development in certain areas of the car."
