Leclerc on claims overtaking has become artificial

Charles Leclerc says he disagrees with claims that the season’s rise in overtaking has been “artificial”, arguing that the current systems still produce good racing. Leclerc said: "I've always disagreed a little bit with that. I know I'm a little bit of an outlier on the grid, but I feel that at least for the fights I've had with the guys in front, when you've got cars that have a system in a similar way to yours, actually, the overtaking is really good. It's a bit more strategic than last year... So I don't think it changed significantly."

Brown on turning down Formula 1 role for McLaren

McLaren Racing chief executive Zak Brown says he turned down an opportunity to work for Formula 1 because the role McLaren offered him was “more exciting” and better matched his desire to be involved in racing when the lights go out. Brown said: "I actually thought I was going to go there [to Formula 1]. And then the McLaren opportunity presented itself... But then when the shareholders all divorced and Ron ended up leaving the company, then I was presented with something that was more exciting than the Formula 1 opportunity. Formula 1 was an unbelievable opportunity. But the thing I liked about McLaren is I like to race... When the lights go out, I want to go racing."

Leclerc on Ferrari starts milestone and title ambition

Charles Leclerc says it feels "strange" to be second on Ferrari’s all-time list for grand prix starts, but insists his focus is on becoming a world champion with the team rather than racking up appearances. Leclerc said: "It's strange. I still feel very young, and I remember my first year in Ferrari just like yesterday, but it's special. But I wouldn't love to be remembered as the most experienced driver of Ferrari, I would love to be remembered as a world champion for Ferrari and this is still to be done."

Piastri on Mercedes' Canada upgrade package

Oscar Piastri says McLaren will have to “wait and see” what Mercedes’ upgrade package delivers at the Canadian Grand Prix, after Mercedes brought only limited new parts to Miami while planning a first major update of the season for Montréal. Piastri said: "We expected the upgrades to be a good step forward, and they have been, and hopefully they are again in Canada. But, obviously, Mercedes didn't bring a lot, and they also have an upgrade package for Canada, so we'll have to wait and see how much that's worth for them."

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."

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."
