Verstappen on ruling out Formula 1 team ownership
Max Verstappen says his Verstappen Racing project is aimed at expanding into endurance racing rather than entering Formula 1, after setting up the team in 2022 and running it in GT3 categories. Verstappen said: "No! Because that's way too demanding. Then I'd still be on the road for 24 races a year or very busy with my own racing team. Outsource things? Yeah, that's possible. But I think that if you're a truly dedicated team owner who wants to get everything right, you have to stay on top of things and be there in person."

Bottas said: "We still have something coming performance-wise, but no magic, nothing huge.

Vowles on cost cap limiting Williams' 2026 car development
Williams team principal James Vowles says Formula 1’s cost cap is forcing the team to divert resources away from developing its 2026 car so it can modernise outdated facilities. Vowles said: "We have many, many years where we haven't been able to build up our facilities to the level it needs to be. And what the cost cap does is it constrains you. So we are dedicating a lot of resources to making sure we are fixing those problems behind the scenes rather than bringing performance to the car in the current year."
