Horner in talks with BYD
Christian Horner is understood to be in talks with BYD over a potential Formula 1 return tied to a new 12th-team entry, after meeting BYD executive vice president Stella Li at the Chinese manufacturer’s Cannes Film Festival activation last week during his visit to the south of France. The discussions are not believed to have gone as far as approving an F1 project, but sources indicate they were positive, with BYD said to favour building a team from scratch rather than buying into an existing operation; Horner is also now free to take on a new F1 role after the non-compete clause from his Red Bull exit in the middle of last year expired.

Yet [Mercedes] were still very fast, and we're going to go to a track that Mercedes have probably been the best at over the last five, six years. So, we have to wait and see."

Alpine managing director Steve Nielsen says the team has uncovered “some ideas and evidence” after investigating why Pierre Gasly was less comfortable than team-mate Franco Colapinto during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Nielsen said: "We've done some digging on Pierre's side in the weeks since Miami to understand as to why, relative to the performances he has shown so far this season, he wasn't too happy in the car across the weekend.

Honda trackside general manager and chief engineer Shintaro Orihara says giving Aston Martin drivers Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso more confidence in the car in Canada is an “important target” that can “unlock lap time”. Orihara said: "In Montreal, which is Lance's home race, we will focus on enhancing the driveability and our energy management strategy to support the drivers in building more confidence. In fact, this is an important target of our race weekend. If we can give more confidence to the drivers in entering the corners faster and carrying more speed, then we unlock lap time."

Verstappen changed Nürburgring start plan
Daniel Juncadella has revealed to SoyMotor that Max Verstappen was originally due to start last Saturday’s Nürburgring 24 Hours, but changed the plan on Friday night after qualifying because he did not want his instinct to attack early to put the team’s race at risk. Verstappen told him: "You should start instead, because I know myself and it's a 24-hour race. First lap, fourth place – I'm going to want to fight everyone. You'd better start instead." Juncadella therefore took the opening stint in the #3 Mercedes-AMG GT3, with Verstappen getting in after around an hour for his first double stint.

Lewis Hamilton says behind-the-scenes changes at Ferrari, including switching race engineer over the winter, have put him in a “really happy place” and made the team’s way of working feel “the best it’s ever been”. Hamilton said: "I am in a really happy place. With the team, it has taken a long time to adjust, on both sides, and it was a difficult season last year with the car that we weren't developing. But we've made so many changes internally, both within the team and how we operate back at the factory, and it is like the best it's ever been in terms of how we work together."
