Perez on not overdelivering at Cadillac
Sergio Perez says he is not “overdelivering” at Cadillac and insisted he was unable to show his “true potential” during the last six months of his time at Red Bull because of “very different circumstances”. Perez said: "People think that I'm overdelivering at the moment, but I was driving already at a very high level earlier, given the circumstances I was in. And there's no difference with this new generation of cars. I'm really happy with the level at the moment, with my pace, I'm really happy and I seem to be getting better and better. I just have to keep performing. That's the only thing that matters to me at the moment."

Jos Verstappen on Marko wanting Max in F1 for 2015
Jos Verstappen said he was “very surprised” when Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko told him during negotiations that he wanted Max Verstappen in Formula 1 in 2015. Jos Verstappen said: "I remember it well. I was at Hockenheim, and it was a typical conversation with Helmut. He came over to our table and said, 'I only have 20 minutes.' I told him that was more than enough time to talk. His opening line was: 'I want Max with us in F1 next year'. I was very surprised that he said that, so I replied, 'Okay, Helmut, let's do it - but for two years, not just one'."

Stella on Norris and Piastri adapting to 2026 regulations
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella said Formula 1’s new regulations have been “nothing short of disruptive” for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, but he is pleased with how both drivers have adapted so far this season. Andrea Stella said: "I am very pleased with how our driver line-up is performing in this early part of the 2026 season. For Oscar and Lando – as indeed for their 20 colleagues on the F1 grid – the impact of the new regulations has been nothing short of disruptive. The new generation of single-seaters requires not only an adaptation of driving style but, above all, much greater focus on understanding how to exploit the full potential offered by the new power units."
