Red Bull Sets Benchmark McLaren Aims to Achieve

Lando Norris acknowledges that Red Bull's consistent performance serves as a benchmark for the level McLaren must attain to compete for race victories and, eventually, world championships. This comes after Norris narrowly missed out on a win to Max Verstappen during the recent race in Canada.

Norris mentioned that McLaren must work on refining “minor details” that have “significant impacts,” pointing out their expensive mistake of not pitting during a Safety Car period in Montreal.

Alpine won’t be receiving any enhancements before the summer break, as stated by Esteban Ocon.

The French driver mentioned that Alpine should focus on “making the most of the current car's capabilities” until significant upgrades are introduced, and he added that this period will serve as a “valuable test” for the team.

Numerous other teams are anticipated to introduce enhancements of differing significance.

Yuki Tsunoda discusses his more composed mindset

Yuki Tsunoda has shared details about his efforts to better manage his emotions while driving his Formula 1 car.

"In my initial few races, I had to consciously consider it before using the radio."

Recently, I've found myself becoming calmer and more naturally quiet. I believe this is a step in the right direction. However, it's important to remember that you can't remain silent for the entire session, as providing feedback is essential.

"It's important to stay naturally calm and consistently offer constructive feedback. I'm pleased with the progress so far. When it comes to traffic, for instance, I make a conscious effort to remain composed."

Logan Sargeant confirms he will drive a car with the same specifications as his Williams teammate, Alex Albon, at the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend.

The American stated that the product was scheduled to arrive in Canada, but some delays have postponed it.

"This was actually my first attempt of the year, and luckily it's helping with weight loss, so it's definitely effective, which is great."

"The qualifying rounds have been extremely close, and every fraction of a second counts. Therefore, I'm pleased to have secured that advantage.”

George Russell evaluates England's prospects

Before their second Euro 2024 group game against Denmark this evening, George Russell was questioned about his opinion on Gareth Southgate's team's chances of winning the tournament.

"I'm confident they can secure a win! Observing the matches and seeing the effort those players put in is truly remarkable. The Euros are extremely challenging, as every game is crucial and in this sport, any team can triumph if they perform at their peak."

The current team appears to be excellent, and Gareth Southgate is proving to be an outstanding coach. They seem to be moving in a positive direction, so let's hope they perform well.

Charles Leclerc not excited about Euros

Charles Leclerc admitted that he doesn’t “keep up with football” when questioned about which team he supports in this summer’s Euro 2024 championship.

The Monegasque mentioned that they will likely start watching from the semi-finals, but they don't usually keep up with football. They enjoy watching a good match, but they admitted they couldn't name the players, saying they are not very knowledgeable about the sport.
