Russell on hurting leg and ankle after Singapore win
George Russell says he hurt his leg and ankle after misjudging the drop when jumping off his car in parc ferme following his “redemption” win at the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix. Russell said: "Something people might not know from this photo is that in Singapore, you drive up onto a little platform where the car goes. From my previous wins and the years gone by, when you jump off the car, you know how much you're falling. I jumped and went, 'Oh, shit'. The drop was bigger than I thought, because I was dropping beyond the platform. I landed, hurt my leg, hurt my ankle, but the adrenaline overcame me and carried me through it!"

Gasly on Alpine capitalising on retirements and performance gap
Pierre Gasly says Alpine have been “capitalising” on other cars’ retirements, but that the performance gap to the cars ahead has grown in recent weeks. Gasly said: "Touch wood, it's going to continue like that, and we're kind of capitalising on the retirements of other cars, but we've got to put ourselves on top of that midfield to make sure we get the most out of it… On the flip side, I think the gap with the cars has actually grown since the last few weekends, and we've got to definitely find a way to bring more performance, because at the moment we're just far away from these guys."

Ocon on Verstappen's future amid 2026 regulation criticism
Haas driver Esteban Ocon says Max Verstappen will “not go away” next year, amid speculation about the Red Bull driver’s Formula 1 future after his criticism of the battery-heavy engine regulations. Ocon said: "He will not go away. Clearly, if we were to lose such a winning driver for the technical regulations, it would be a problem. But it will not happen. They are listening to us, and we are moving in the right direction. I think there is a consensus that things were too complicated at the beginning of the year. And there have already been interventions, which is positive."

Bottas on Hamilton's Ferrari turnaround in Spain
Valtteri Bottas says Lewis Hamilton’s revival at Ferrari, capped by his first win for the team in Spain, may be down to “small things” in the car that better suit the seven-time champion. Bottas said: "I think he has shown that he hasn't lost any of his ability to do great qualifyings and great races. Yeah, maybe this type of car is a bit different to in the past. Maybe it is the first car that has a bit of his DNA in it. Those small things can make a big difference because in the end, in this sport, we are talking about such fine margins. But it's good to see."

Stella on McLaren modifications to new front wing
McLaren boss Andrea Stella said the team had to make aerodynamic and mechanical modifications to get the most from its new front wing, after bringing it back for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. Stella said: "The front wing is a project that took a couple of races to understand exactly how to use it, what it was delivering. We saw there were some aspects which were not only aerodynamic, but also some from a mechanical point of view, which needed to be evolved. We took a couple of modifications since the first time we introduced it, and these modifications were effective, so we are happy now with the performance and the correlation of the data compared to the development tools we used on both cars."

Hamilton on rising costs in junior motorsport
Lewis Hamilton says the rising costs of junior motorsport are “ridiculous” and that the sport’s leaders need to be held accountable for making the pathway more accessible. Hamilton said: "There's no accountability in terms of the people that run these organisations, or run the sports. I don't know how, but there needs to be some way to make it accessible. It's ridiculous. I know someone who has a kid who's eight years old, who is spending over a million dollars a year."

Ocon on European season as key test for Haas package
Esteban Ocon says the start of Formula 1’s European season is “critical” for Haas because the team’s latest package needs a proper test on a “normal track” and the drivers’ feedback will help set the direction of future development. Esteban Ocon said: "But now, I feel that this race, since we've brought the package, is going to be the first real test of how the car is actually feeling on a normal track. It's very critical for us, me and Ollie.

FIA approves 2026 tweaks and 2027 regs
The FIA has approved a set of tweaks to Formula 1’s 2026 rules and confirmed the “first issue” of the 2027 technical regulations at the World Motor Sport Council meeting in Macau. For 2026, the heat hazard declaration can now be split between Sprint and grand prix, while boost mode can be used in wet/low-grip or poor-visibility conditions to prevent power reduction, with overtake mode disabled in those scenarios. For 2027, pre-season testing increases to four days, and the WMSC also agreed changes to power unit output from 2027 as F1 moves away from a 50:50 ICE:battery split towards 60:40 by 2028.

Vowles on Williams fixing Barcelona-exposed weaknesses
Williams team principal James Vowles says some of the weaknesses exposed by the team’s car at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix will not be fixed in the short term, but he believes there is still time to recover the season with upgrades brought in stages. Vowles said: "My expectation is that we won't be as exposed as badly as Barcelona, but some of those issues won't be rectified in the short term. The reality is we're only one-third of the way through the season now... The point I'm making behind that is we have time to remedy this and fix it, but we need to make sure we bring that performance in a timely fashion to the car."

Russell on rediscovering form with Mercedes W17
George Russell says he wants to get back to “subconsciously learning” how to improve, as he looks to rediscover his form after struggling for feel and balance in Mercedes’ W17 compared with Kimi Antonelli in the other Mercedes. Russell said: "You just subconsciously learn what happened, and I didn't think I was driving any differently, but the brain just automatically learned, and that's where I want to find myself. I want to go back to that place where I'm subconsciously learning how to improve and not chasing those answers because I know I can do it, and I've done it my whole career."
