Oscar Piastri says his results this season have not always shown how much he feels he has learned and improved as a driver. Piastri said: "I think the good results have been one thing, but I feel like I've also learned a lot about how I can improve myself as a driver, even if the results don't always show it."

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."

Sergio Perez says Cadillac is “missing” development as the new team works to build its foundations during its first Formula 1 season. Perez said: "Development.

Lando Norris says Formula 1 is “the healthiest it’s ever been” despite concerns and criticism around the sport’s 2026 regulations.

F1 will always be great, and I know everyone involved in the sport, me included, is passionate about making it even better still."

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."
