Verstappen on not acting like a superstar at the Nordschleife
Max Verstappen says he does not want to “act like a superstar” when racing at the Nürburgring Nordschleife as he explores his love of endurance racing. Verstappen said: "It's probably a bit more like old school in terms of how you can enter the paddock and be close to the action. Yeah, I love it. I mean, I don't want to act like a superstar or, like, you know, just because I'm a Formula 1 driver, I need to act differently. I love racing, and I love endurance racing, and I love working with teammates on the same car and, like, you know, traffic management, all these things."

Stella on Norris and Piastri relationship at McLaren
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says the relationship between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri has become even stronger. Stella said: "It wasn't a given that, after last year – when they found themselves battling for the world title right up to the final race – the harmony they'd built would remain intact. Yet not only has this not changed, but the relationship between them and with the team has actually become even stronger. Whilst this might, in a sense, have been expected of Lando – given that he was ultimately the one to become champion – it was not quite so predictable for Oscar."

Komatsu on Haas' financial limitations
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says the team’s biggest limitation in trying to make the next step in Formula 1 is financial, with its smaller headcount and resources meaning it takes longer to turn solutions into parts on the car. Komatsu said: "It’s mainly financial. In terms of structure, I don’t see a big problem. Yes, it can be better, but there are many more things [to do] before we have to change any structure that we can put in place with a slightly better revenue, to be able to give people more resources, better software, better tools, the ability to improve the process, procedure, etc. Everything takes time and human being resources, to do that, it’s revenue."
