Brown on McLaren's driver line-up plans

Zak Brown says he has “zero intention” of changing McLaren’s driver line-up after being asked whether the signing of Red Bull race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase for 2028 could open the door for Max Verstappen to join in the future. Brown said: "I couldn't be happier with our driver line-up. Lando [Norris] and Oscar [Piastri] are not only two awesome guys, on the track, off the track, but as team mates, which is so much I think what's made McLaren successful here – [it's] the chemistry that we have in the garage, at the factory, with our pit wall, all throughout the racing team. I couldn't be happier with what we have, and zero intention in changing."

Wolff on Bonnington's role in Antonelli's success

Toto Wolff says Kimi Antonelli’s race engineer Pete ‘Bono’ Bonnington has been “part of the success” by acting as both a mentor and a firm guiding voice on the radio, after Antonelli’s latest win in Miami. Wolff said: "Bono has learned from the greats, from Schumacher to Hamilton for many years and then now to Kimi. He's been a good mentor to him, but also a strong boss. There were a few times today when he had two strikes with the track limits – I said to Bono, 'One more and I'm gonna go on the radio', and he said, 'No, no, you leave that to me'. That shows he just knows how to handle it."

Cadillac team principal Graeme Lowdon said the new Formula 1 team is trying to give fans “something completely different” as it builds its fanbase alongside its on-track project, after staging a free two-day event at Jungle Plaza during the Miami Grand Prix weekend. Lowdon said: "But we're able to deliver something completely different. What we can do is encourage fans to join us on this really unique journey.

Bottas on Cadillac pit limiter feedback issue

Valtteri Bottas said his drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane at the Miami Grand Prix was caused by Cadillac still working through “quality” and feedback issues on its controls as a new Formula 1 team. Bottas said: "I pressed the pit limiter button, but apparently not hard enough. We're still lacking a bit of feedback on some of the buttons, so another error we're still working on. It's been a known issue, we just haven't got the new buttons yet so hopefully in the next race. But yeah, it's one of the things that happens when you start as a new team."

Chandhok on Ferrari concern after Miami upgrade package failed to deliver

Karun Chandhok says Ferrari should be concerned after its upgrade package failed to deliver a clear performance step at the Miami Grand Prix. Chandhok said: "So for me, I think there's a little bit of concern, or there should be a little bit of concern at Maranello and Ferrari. But I think they've got to think about whether there's further performance to be optimised or unlocked from this update, because otherwise they're going to get dropped behind when McLaren have more go faster bits that we believe are coming to Canada, and Mercedes get their big upgrade."

Piastri on finishing second during McLaren's strongest weekends

Oscar Piastri said his first Formula 1 title fight felt like a "double-edged sword", and that finishing second could sometimes feel like the "worst place" because he had been beaten by his McLaren team-mate when the car was strong. Piastri said: "It's a double-edged sword. At certain points last year, finishing second was almost kind of the worst place I could finish, because I got beaten by my teammate, probably, and our car was a lot better than everyone else's on certain weekends, and I didn't do a good enough job, basically."

Domenicali on deciding F1's future engine direction

F1 boss Stefano Domenicali says the sport “cannot lose too much time” in deciding its future engine direction. Domenicali said: "I definitely see a sort of sustainable fuel at the centre of the future, with a different balance of what could be the electrification in the future with a strong internal combustion engine. We cannot lose too much time because the time is passing so quickly that I go back to what I said before – if we need to be robust enough to allow us not to be in a corner, we need to decide as soon as possible."

Sainz on Williams turnaround timeline

Carlos Sainz says Williams will need to reach “the last third of the season” before a “proper turnaround” is seen, despite the team’s double points finish at the Miami Grand Prix. Sainz said: "It's going to take some months to finish the turnaround. I think we're going to need to get to the last third of the season to see a proper turnaround. But at least the upgrades work. The weight of the car came a bit off, but we still know there's a bit to go. We have a few bits and pieces coming for the next couple of races."

Chandhok on Ferrari's Miami upgrade disappointment

Karun Chandhok says McLaren and Mercedes are not worried about Ferrari challenging after the team’s 11-part upgrade package for the Miami Grand Prix failed to deliver a step forward. Chandhok said: "I think it was overall, a bit disappointing for them. As someone from McLaren and someone else from Mercedes both pointed out to me, if that is the big Ferrari upgrade for this early part of the season, then we're not worried, because if that's the best they've got, and they haven't got something coming for a little while, we'll be okay. But I think they've got to think about whether there's further performance to be optimised or unlocked from this update."

Wolff on Mercedes being open to future V8 engines

Toto Wolff says Mercedes would be open to Formula 1 switching to V8 engines in future, but believes the sport cannot abandon hybrid technology entirely if it wants to stay relevant. Wolff said: "From a Mercedes standpoint we are open to new engine regulations. We love V8s. From our perspective it's a pure Mercedes engine. Revs high. How do we give it enough energy from the battery side to not lose connection to the real world? Because if we swing to 100% combustion [power], we might be looking a bit ridiculous in 2031 or 2030."

Leclerc on Ferrari's lost pace after Miami upgrade package

Charles Leclerc says Ferrari need to work out why it lost pace at the Miami Grand Prix after the team’s 11-upgrade package for its SF-26 failed to deliver the performance it was looking for. Leclerc said: "On the medium we weren't strong. We were degrading a massive amount. On the hard, it wasn't great at the beginning but then it picked up and was a little bit better, but it was never at the level of Saturday. We need to look at it. We lost a lot of performance from then, and I would like to understand exactly what happened there."

Vowles on Williams' messy 2026 preparations

Williams team principal James Vowles said the team’s preparation for the new-for-2026 regulations was “messy” because hundreds of small inefficiencies emerged when its new systems and procedures were put under stress while developing a more complex car. Vowles said: "It's tiny, small details but hundreds of them that add up. It's inefficiencies across the board that weren't taken into account and only came to light once you start stressing the system. The car we produced is the most complex. All of it is about one-and-a-half to two times more complex and it didn't go smoothly for much of that process."

Alonso on avoiding a bad Formula 1 exit

Fernando Alonso says he wants to avoid leaving Formula 1 “with a bad taste” as he considers whether to continue racing beyond this season, with the Aston Martin driver out of contract at the end of the year. Alonso said: "Leaving the sport with a bad taste is not always the best thing. These things, you can't choose when to stop racing - only [Nico] Rosberg did. Otherwise, it's difficult to choose. I'm very relaxed and I'm very happy with my career. I also want to leave the sport one day when I feel fast. I don't want to leave the sport when everyone is beating me, when I feel slow and I make mistakes and all these kind of things."
