Sainz on Williams being further from the front in 2026
Carlos Sainz says Williams are “further away from the top than we thought” in 2026, after expecting the team’s early focus on the new regulations to at least maintain its 2025 level. Sainz said: "Obviously, going into 2026, I expected, if anything, with more time to develop the 2026 car and a new set of regulations, that we could potentially either stay where we were or make a small step forward. Yet time has proven to me that it has obviously been the opposite, or the other way around, and that as a team we are further away from the top than we thought we were at the end of 2025."

Stella on McLaren's rotating rear wing sign-off
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says the team’s experimental “rotating rear wing” has been signed off after being evaluated in Friday practice at the Hungarian Grand Prix, although McLaren opted against racing the design at the Hungaroring. Stella said: "It's been a positive sign-off of this concept, and we look forward now to introducing this concept, at some future events. It was important for us to acquire data via track side because you would have never relied on a wind tunnel only for such a delicate project."

But at the same time, it's probably the track that suits them the most with the shortest straight, so I don't think it will remain like that forever.
