FIA weighing third-party engine supply
The FIA is considering ending F1’s current customer power unit model from 2031 by offering an off-the-shelf third-party engine supply to “B-teams”, as part of a push towards cheaper, simpler V8 regulations. The idea is framed as a way to reduce the leverage engine manufacturers can have over smaller teams’ voting and alliances. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem told British newspapers at Silverstone, via Reuters: “If it is affordable, then we will have one engine for the rest of the B-teams, so nobody can leverage them and tell them to ‘vote this way’.”

Hamilton keeps podium after reprimand
Lewis Hamilton kept his British Grand Prix podium after the stewards decided not to issue a post-race time penalty for an alleged yellow-flag infringement when Nico Hulkenberg stopped with a gearbox failure. Hamilton avoided a time penalty because the stewards judged he had very limited warning of the yellow flag. He entered the sector before any yellow flag or light panel was shown, the steering wheel alert appeared only briefly near the end of the zone, and his attention was understandably on his mirrors after battling Verstappen. Although he did not slow enough to fully comply, the stewards decided the circumstances made a reprimand the appropriate penalty, allowing him to keep third place.

Leclerc on blocking out negativity after British Grand Prix win
Charles Leclerc says he tried to block out the “negativity” around him and never doubted his ability after winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Leclerc said: "I don't know if it fuels me. Honestly, I think anybody that says that would lie. I think whenever there's so much negativity around, it's not something so nice to see. You try to cancel the noise as much as possible. My job was really to just try and cancel that noise, to not look at anything, to not listen to anything. And I know that I didn't become a bad driver from one day to the other."

Horner on Red Bull's 2026 engine leading the field
Christian Horner says Red Bull’s power unit department has done “incredibly well” after an FIA ruling under the ADUO (Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities) system judged the team’s 2026 combustion engine to be the strongest in the field. Horner said: "It was a collective effort, and I think it's underestimated what they've actually done. To have an engine ahead of Ferrari, ahead of Honda, ahead of Audi, ahead of even Mercedes - nobody thought that was possible."

Antonelli on Mercedes momentum after difficult British Grand Prix
Kimi Antonelli says Mercedes still have momentum after technical problems and a track-limits penalty left him 15th in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Antonelli said: "I think we lost a lot of points. But the momentum is there because I think this weekend we showed the speed. We showed what we are capable of, so I think that the momentum is still there, and actually it makes the fire grow even more to go out there in Spa and try to do even better."

Norris on McLaren's poor pace
Lando Norris jokingly considered whether he could take the chequered flag via the pitlane under the late Safety Car at the British Grand Prix, asking McLaren on the radio: “You’re not allowed to box are you? You can’t win it in the pit lane?” Race engineer Will Joseph replied: “No, you’re not,” with Norris responding: “Shame.” Norris finished fourth and admitted McLaren’s pace was poor, saying the car “wasn’t very nice in any way whatsoever today” and “we have a lot to improve”.

Piastri on British GP start under 2026 power deployment rules
Oscar Piastri said the British Grand Prix start felt like a “multi-class race” because drivers were using different power deployment modes under this year’s regulations, after opening-lap contact broke his front wing and left him recovering to 11th. Piastri said: "Lap one on these kind of circuits is just carnage, it's almost like a multi-class race start. I was trying to overtake Lindblad, and I seemed like I had more power than him. Lawson then passed me, who seemed like he had even more power than me, and it's just a mess. You're trying to judge your speed to the car in front of you, look at the car behind you."

Mekies on Verstappen's British GP spin frustration
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said Max Verstappen was right to be unhappy after spinning into the Stowe gravel trap four laps from the end of the British Grand Prix. Mekies said: "Look, he's right not to be happy. It is very unpleasant for drivers to be let down by the car in high-speed corners in two consecutive races, let it be for two different reasons. So he's right to be unhappy. I have no doubt that, as a team, we will put in place what is necessary for that not to happen again, even if we failed to do that today."

Stroll given three track limits penalties
Lance Stroll collected three separate five-second penalties for track limits at the British Grand Prix, triggered after he had already reached the maximum of three warnings. The infringements came on laps 33, 35 and 42, with the stewards noting each time that he left the track “without a justifiable reason”, taking his total time penalties to 15 seconds. Stroll finished last of the 19 classified runners and said: “We had a lot of understeer during the race and a very unpredictable car, so it’s hard with track limits.”

Gasly on Alpine being too slow at Silverstone
Pierre Gasly said Alpine were “too slow” at the British Grand Prix after a slow pit stop dropped him behind team-mate Franco Colapinto on the way to 10th at Silverstone, as both drivers described Sunday as a race of “damage limitation”. Gasly said: "Good damage limitation for the team – three points – just a bit annoying to lose P9 to Franco because we had a slow stop on our side. I exited five seconds behind and then it stayed that way so I'm not very happy with that. It doesn't really change the world. We're just too slow here. We're slow and we need to definitely improve very quickly."

Lawson on Racing Bulls closing on F1's top four
Liam Lawson says Racing Bulls are getting closer to Formula 1’s top four teams after another double points finish at the British Grand Prix. Lawson said: "[I'm] very happy. Obviously, when a lot of the top guys don't score, we get a lot of bonus points in there which is great. But it is just a big credit to all the work that has been going in from the team to be now consistently in front of the midfield, which is really, really good. Friday we were not far away from the front guys, and a few races ago we were miles away. So, we have definitely really improved things... it would be nice to keep the momentum going."

Hamilton said: "Congrats to Charles. He did a great job. All the magic that I had on Friday just disappeared through the weekend. I was just lacking front end.
