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."

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."

Bottas on Cadillac setup inconsistency and lack of track time
Valtteri Bottas says inconsistency in Cadillac’s car setup and a lack of track time early in the season have been key factors behind his difficult return to Formula 1 alongside Sergio Pérez. Bottas said: "It definitely hasn't come my way yet, and a lot of it is the inconsistency with the setup. Even some parts of the car quite often feel different to what you expect. Also, at the beginning of the year, having such a big gap between the races and not spending that much time on track hasn't helped."

Norris said: "We are lucky that Ferrari don't have a better engine at the minute. If they had a better engine, they would be dominating. They are the class of the field in terms of cornering performance and we are not even close to them. We are a long, long way from where we need to be. If they make improvements on the engine side, they will embarrass everyone."

Antonelli on Senna comparisons early in his F1 career
Kimi Antonelli says he does not like being compared to Ayrton Senna, insisting it is “not really fair” at this stage of his Formula 1 career. Antonelli said: "Wow, what a strong question. No, I haven't read about that, and to be fair, I don't really also like the comparison because I don't feel like I should be compared to someone who has made the history of the sport and I haven't done not even a single bit of what he has been able to achieve. So I don't feel like it's very fair… it's just the beginning… and I feel like I'm still very far from his level."

Williams turned Albon race into test session
James Vowles says Williams turned Alex Albon’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix into a test session after a loose onboard camera forced an extended pit stop. Vowles said Albon was not in a points position and the team wanted to avoid the risk of the camera falling off and triggering a safety car or VSC, adding: “What we do not want to be doing is impacting the race of others.” Vowles said Williams then used the stop to change Albon’s set-up and run “test items”.

Sainz on Hamilton's Ferrari upturn under 2026 regulations
Carlos Sainz says Lewis Hamilton’s upturn at Ferrari has been helped by the 2026 regulation change and a car that suits his driving style, after Hamilton’s maiden Ferrari win at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. Sainz said: "Some cars suit us, others don't. Then you move to a team where the car is perfectly suited to your style, and suddenly you look like a god. Lewis also deserves a lot of credit for turning things around from last year to this year in the way he has. He's also benefited from the regulation change because if he'd been stuck with last year's car for another three years, maybe we wouldn't be seeing the Lewis we're seeing this season."
