Bearman on Hamilton's Ferrari form and his own future
Ollie Bearman admits Lewis Hamilton’s resurgence at Ferrari is “not ideal” for his hopes of earning a seat at the team, even though he is enjoying seeing the seven-time world champion back at the front. Bearman said: "Of course, in terms of my future, that's not ideal. But I'm still young. I'm only 21. I'm not in a huge rush, and for me, staying at Haas for the foreseeable is not a bad thing. I feel like there's a lot to learn at this team. There's a lot to still achieve."

Budkowski on first priorities as Cadillac team principal
Marcin Budkowski says his first priority as Cadillac team principal is to listen and observe how the team works together, as he prepares to split his first week between the factory and this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix. Budkowski said: "My first priority is going to be to listen. Honestly, listen and observe in the factory, because I need to meet the people – I need to understand how they work, how they work together, how the various individuals and departments first work together. But throughout my F1 experience, I know that when a team is suffering reliability issues – as Cadillac had during the first half of the season – it's a huge risk of creating a disconnect between the trackside operations and the factory."

Otmar Szafnauer says he remains open to returning to Formula 1, but suggested any comeback might not be as a team principal. Szafnauer said: "What I miss is the competitive nature of Formula 1. What I don't miss is the travel and some of the other stuff. But if I can be of value to improve a team or build a team...

Orihara on Honda accelerating staff development for Formula 1
Honda trackside manager and chief engineer Shintaro Orihara says the company had to accelerate its staff development for Formula 1 after deciding at the end of 2025 that its workforce was not yet at the required level, before bringing back some personnel from its Red Bull-era project. Orihara said: "Probably, at the end of last year, our total human development level was not sufficient for the Formula 1 level. And then, at winter testing, we've had quite tough moments, but those moments have developed our people. They have learned a lot of things about what we need to work in Formula 1... And now I'm confident that we are in a good position to develop a strong power unit and also strong energy management."

Norris on drivers making the difference despite 2026 F1 limits
Lando Norris says “better drivers” can still make the difference in Formula 1 despite Max Verstappen’s view that the new power unit energy-deployment algorithms mean drivers are “not allowed to make a difference”. Norris said: "Some corners, yeah, maybe it tightens up, but if you're a better driver, there are still corners to try and gain an advantage on everyone, so I wouldn't say I necessarily agree with everything. I think if you're driving better, you're still going to be ahead at the very fast tracks like Silverstone and Spa; there are fewer corners at the end of the day that you can gain lap time."

Lindblad on relationship with Racing Bulls team-mate Lawson
Arvid Lindblad says he has a good relationship with Racing Bulls team-mate Liam Lawson, with the pair able to compete hard on track while also pushing each other in a way he feels benefits the team. Lindblad said: "Honestly, I'd say we have a good relationship. On track, we both want to beat the other, and that's the nature of sport, but when we are out of the car, we have a genuine, nice relationship, and there's a nice dynamic within the team. Like you said, we've pushed each other on a lot, and I think that's been good for both of us."
