Isack Hadjar says he was “doing the easy stuff really wrong” early in his first season at Red Bull but has since found more consistency as the team has fixed issues and made life easier with a more reliable car. Hadjar said: "It started a bit tricky. The first couple of rounds, I feel like I was doing the easy stuff really wrong and the tough things, like being quick, in the rhythm and not too far from Max [Verstappen], really well. Since the last couple of rounds, I think I've found some consistency, and in the team we've fixed a few issues that make our life easier. It's a lot easier when the car is reliable."

Lando Norris says Formula 1 is “the healthiest it’s ever been” despite concerns and criticism around the sport’s 2026 regulations. Norris said: "In terms of where F1 is as a sport, it's clearly the healthiest it's ever been, and we've all seen the benefits of that – fans, drivers and teams. F1 will always be great, and I know everyone involved in the sport, me included, is passionate about making it even better still."



Sergio Perez says there is “no loyalty” in Formula 1 after he was not kept on by Racing Point for its rebrand into Aston Martin, despite having helped Lawrence Stroll buy the team when it was Force India. Perez said: "It was difficult. I had a three-year contract with the team, obviously with options in it, and my future was going to be with that team... But then obviously Sebastian came available. A four-time world champion became available, and I understood this is how the sport works... So he had an option. He didn't renew it, and then he went for Sebastian. I was like, 'Look, there is no loyalty in this sport.' I didn't take it personally."
Max Verstappen says Red Bull must stop its car losing performance across a grand prix weekend, calling it a “big priority” for the team heading into the summer break. Verstappen said: "We need to first find more overall performance. Then we need to fix our problems, where we sometimes just lose performance over a weekend, or even from the start of the race to the end. So, yeah, that is also actually a big priority."




Aston Martin team boss Adrian Newey says he expects the team to continue its relationship with Fernando Alonso beyond 2026, with the double world champion out of contract at the end of this season. Newey said: "Obviously, Fernando is an amazing driver. He brings huge amounts to the team, both in his feedback and his ability. So, for us, of course it's important. I'm pretty confident that Fernando is enjoying his time with us and that we will continue with our relationship."
