Lawson on scoring points as often as possible in 2026
Liam Lawson says his personal goal for the rest of the 2026 Formula 1 season is to score points on as many weekends as possible by extracting everything from the car. Lawson said: "On a personal perspective or personal goal, it's just scoring points in as many weekends as we can, extracting everything out of the car, and wherever that puts me at the end of the year will be what it will be. It's more just knowing that I've done everything I can."

Piastri on adapting his driving style with current F1 cars
Oscar Piastri says the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix showed his usual driving approach “doesn’t always work” with the current generation of Formula 1 cars, and that he had to “stretch” himself with new techniques to respond in Austria. Piastri said: "We're having to find so many new things and new ways of extracting performance out of the car and ourselves. It's quite easy to just settle into your normal rhythm and do the things you've always done, but that doesn't always work in these cars – I think Barcelona was definitely an example of that. In Austria I felt like I really had to stretch myself a bit more and try some new things, and just go about driving in a slightly different way."

Bortoleto on Audi's impact at Sauber
Gabriel Bortoleto says Audi’s entry into Formula 1 and takeover of Sauber has made it “a different situation”, with a major shift in mentality backed by stronger resources. Bortoleto said: "Yeah, you can really see a difference, especially the mentality has shifted a lot. I think lots of respect for the team that we had for last year and many other years before that, but the truth, reality, is that we are in a different situation right now. We have Audi backing us up. It's manufacturing. We are doing our own engine. We have a lot of financial support from them, so we are not struggling in that sense that maybe Sauber struggled in the past. And then the mentality also shifts."

Stella on balancing McLaren's 2026 and 2027 car development
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says it is easier for the team to balance development between its 2026 car and the 2027 project than it was a year ago, because the regulatory changes are “relatively minor”. Stella said: "In a sense, this year it is easier to find a middle ground between the two requirements. Whilst in 2025 we were faced with the need to strike a balance between two extremes – pushing right to the limit to win the world championship and having to design a new car practically from scratch – this year the transition between the two projects is much smoother, given that the regulatory changes are relatively minor."

Bottas on Cadillac's shift in focus to its 2027 car
Valtteri Bottas says Cadillac will soon shift its resources fully towards its 2027 car, with work on its 2026 machine set to be wound down despite more parts still due to arrive. Bottas said: "We still have something coming performance-wise, but no magic, nothing huge. So obviously, there is a point that we need to shift our focus 100 per cent for next year, which is coming soon. It means that we can still make progress, but big steps are more challenging to make because everyone is still bringing their last upgrades."
