Piastri on driving Alonso and Hamilton's 2000s F1 cars
McLaren driver Oscar Piastri says driving Fernando Alonso’s 2007 car and Lewis Hamilton’s 2008 car left him with “a pretty big smile” and a sense of nostalgia for the cars he grew up watching. Piastri said: "I've driven Fernando's 2007 car, and I was lucky enough to drive Lewis's 2008 car earlier this year. The cars being so light and the noise they make, especially from that time, is pretty incredible. But when you've grown up watching that on TV and listening to it, there's definitely that element of nostalgia as well. Driving cars from 2007 and 2008, I had a pretty big smile on my face when I got out."

Hadjar on improved consistency after Red Bull fixed early issues
Isack Hadjar says he was “doing the easy stuff really wrong” early in his first season at Red Bull but has since found more consistency as the team has fixed issues and made life easier with a more reliable car. Hadjar said: "It started a bit tricky. The first couple of rounds, I feel like I was doing the easy stuff really wrong and the tough things, like being quick, in the rhythm and not too far from Max [Verstappen], really well. Since the last couple of rounds, I think I've found some consistency, and in the team we've fixed a few issues that make our life easier. It's a lot easier when the car is reliable."
