Red Bull challenge to FIA engine benchmark
Red Bull’s challenge to the FIA’s ADUO engine benchmarking is not expected to change the outcome, with the formal findings set to be confirmed after the British Grand Prix. The FIA’s document to power unit manufacturers showed the Red Bull Powertrains DM01 as the internal combustion engine benchmark under its performance index, leaving Red Bull without any homologation upgrade allowance while Mercedes, Ferrari, Honda and Audi each received at least one. Red Bull has sought further clarification from the FIA and is understood to have held talks at Silverstone with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Leclerc on difficult spell before British GP win

Austria wasn't so great but here I we managed to put everything together and I hope I can keep that momentum going forward."

🇬🇧 Post-race interview
🔴 Charles Leclerc: "It feels incredible. Unfortunately the end was maybe not the one I would have dreamt of. To win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficult. All the work we put in to try to get the feeling back in the car, felt like I found something yesterday after the Sprint. But I had to confirm it today. Today the feeling was back where it needs to be. I'm so incredibly happy. "With Kimi, it would have been close. He was very fast when he was coming towards me. It would have been very difficult to keep that first place. Then I heard he had a problem so I was like 'OK, now I have a big gap and it should be straightforward'. Then with the Safety Car, some backmarkers had to pass us, so I did all the Safety Car time at 100kph, so my tyres were very cold. Not great for the fans around the track but in the helmet I was happy that there was not a restart to keep that win." ⚪️ George Russell: "Firstly, congrats to Charles, he drove a great race. Great race, great to be always in Silverstone, my first podium so really pleased to be standing here. It was obviously a very unlucky race then got very lucky at the end with the Safety Car. It would have been great for the fans for it to have restarted but from my side my tyres were stone cold so I was glad to bring it home in second. Tough weekend but, overall, good to be standing here." 🔴 Lewis Hamilton: "Firstly I have to say congratulations to Charles. Winning this Grand Prix is a great experience and this is a great result for our team. So congratulations to our team. I just didn't have it today. I jumped the start, got a five second penalty, but Charles had the pace on me today. I struggled with the balance of the car but I gave it everything and I'm grateful to be up here. "The team is doing a phenomenal job. We have some work still to do to really close the gap on pure performance but look at these results. Two wins for the team this year, this is fantastic."

Horner on only considering an F1 return with winning potential
Christian Horner says he would only consider a return to Formula 1 in a role that offers “an opportunity to win”, as he made his first paddock appearance since leaving Red Bull in July 2025 at the British Grand Prix. Horner said: "Look, I've enjoyed my time out. I did 20 years straight with the Red Bull guys. I was obviously doing other stuff before that, so it's the first time I've ever had a bit of time to get off the hamster wheel. But for me, I'd only look at doing the right thing, something that really had an opportunity to win at the end of the day."

Aston Martin upgrade due in Hungary
Adrian Newey was spotted inspecting the rear of Mercedes’ W17 on the Silverstone grid ahead of the British Grand Prix Sprint, telling Sky F1 it was useful to study rivals in person as Aston Martin prepares its B-spec AMR26. Asked what he liked, Newey quipped: “There’s lots of carbon!”, before adding: “It’s always interesting to look at other people’s solutions… being able to kind of see it in 3D is helpful.” Newey also said Aston Martin decided after Melbourne to pause small updates and focus on a “proper upgrade”, due in Hungary.
