🇮🇹 Kimi Antonelli has responded to the speculation surrounding his chances of becoming the 2026 Formula 1 World Champion.
“I try not to think about the championship at all. I’m quite superstitious and I don’t like being called the main title contender. In motorsport, you can’t look that far ahead, so I prefer to focus on each race individually. I simply enjoy racing and winning — that’s the only thing I’m thinking ab…

🇬🇧 McLaren has created a dedicated power unit performance team in response to Formula 1’s new technical regulations. The group works alongside Mercedes HPP, using track data, simulations and McLaren’s own tools to adapt the power unit’s operation to the specific demands of the MCL40.
“We have a power unit performance team now, which we didn't have before. … We’re ultimately just not the ones in complete control.”

🇦🇹 Toto Wolff reflected on Mercedes’ first half of the 2026 season and outlined the team’s priorities for the second part of the championship.
“We started the season very strongly, and that was the result of a huge amount of work on both the power unit and the chassis. It allowed us to achieve strong results and put ourselves in a very competitive position.
But reliability has hurt us. We had several retirements tha…

🇳🇱🇳🇱 Max Verstappen was the driving force behind Zandvoort’s return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2021, according to Bernie Ecclestone(former Formula 1 chief).
“The real reason is Max. Without Max, it would not have happened. Many things can make an event special, but Max makes this race special because he is quite special himself.”

🇬🇧 Arvid Lindblad’s instinct may have helped Liam Lawson secure P8 in Hungary.
“I just had that feeling. We saw degradation already in FP1, and it was 20 degrees hotter for the race. These tyres don’t like the heat — Barcelona and Red Bull Ring already proved that.”
🇮🇹 Racing Bulls planned a one-stop race, but Lindblad was convinced two stops would be the better option. After Nico Hulkenberg switched to a two-stop s…

🏎 More voices have joined the debate over the Oscar Piastri–Carlos Sainz collision, with Ralf Schumacher and James Vowles offering strong opinions on the incident.
Ralf Schumacher was far from impressed with Sainz’s actions:
“This is simply outrageous. It is unacceptable, and a normal penalty is not enough here. Sainz should be given a qualifying penalty in Zandvoort, otherwise it would set a precedent.”
🇬🇧 William…

🇦🇹 Toto Wolff has made it clear that Mercedes will not tolerate a repeat of the destructive rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, which defined the 2014–2016 seasons.
“I will not allow it. That’s never going to happen to me again. That’s never going to happen to the team again. Simple.”
The Mercedes team principal added that any driver who allowed an internal battle to cross that line would be removed fr…

🇲🇨 Charles Leclerc admits the team must understand why its performance continues to fluctuate so dramatically from one circuit to another.
“It was a disappointing weekend. What stands out most is that we won and finished second at the two circuits where we expected to struggle, yet at the track where we thought we would be strong, we ended up fourth and fifth. Both cars seem to follow the same pattern: we are compet…

The first comments from Carlos Sainz and Oscar Piastri following their collision at the Hungarian Grand Prix:
🇪🇸 Carlos Sainz:
“I wasn’t told that Piastri was behind me. I feel sorry for him. We could have handled it better. I’m leaving with a very unpleasant feeling. The first half of the season has been extremely disappointing.”

Lando Norris, Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli after the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix
🇬🇧 Lando Norris:
“I’m tired. What happened? I don’t know, honestly. I just kept losing the rear and had a few snaps, so it was nearly game over on the opening lap.
“I was pushing like hell to force Oscar into a mistake. My pace today was some of the best I’ve ever had. It was so strong that I could keep extending every stint.
“I’m ju…

🇳🇱 Max Verstappen did not hide his frustration after a disastrous Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying session, during which the RB22 progressively lost downforce and became increasingly unstable.
The whole qualifying session was bad for me. It is absolutely useless,” Verstappen said, explaining that the aerodynamic problems had started between FP3 and qualifying.
According to Max, Red Bull is facing a different issue ev…

🇹🇭 Alex Albon is already wary of Aston Martin’s upgraded car:
“Aston Martin have made a major step forward. They will probably be quicker than us through many of the corners, even though we are faster on the straights. That makes them, without question, the team we need to beat in qualifying this weekend. I haven’t seen their long-run pace, but if the car is this strong through the corners, I expect it to be good. Ge…
