Antonelli on pressure during mid-season slump at Mercedes
Mercedes driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli says he “let the pressure” get to him during a mid-season slump in form in his debut year, when he struggled after Mercedes made changes to its car. Antonelli said: "I had a good start to the season, then I had a difficult period. In the European season I really struggled and in that moment I let the pressure kind of destroy me as well during that period. I felt like I was letting down so many people who had believed in me. Of course especially Toto [Wolff, Mercedes team principal], because he was the main one who took the decision [to promote him]."

Wolff on Mercedes and 2026 power unit parity
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the team does not have a dominant power unit under the new 2026 rules and he does not expect Formula 1 to see a 2014-style era of supremacy again. Wolff said: "What made us so dominant at the beginning of the 2014 hybrid era was that for a long time our power unit was very much dominant. Today you can see that Ferrari is very close to us. So I don't think we will see this kind of era of dominance anymore in F1."

Lawson on being in a good place after strong first half
Liam Lawson says he is in a “good place” after a successful first half of the 2026 season with Racing Bulls. Lawson said: "When you're in a good rhythm and you find things that are working for you, it's obviously a good feeling. And getting in a routine of doing that has been something that, especially during the European part, we've had less travel and spent a bit more time at home. It's been a good opportunity to just focus a little bit more on myself as a driver and as an athlete, so I've just tried to do that."
