💬 | Lawson: "There have been quite a few races where we haven’t really been that quick, but we’ve still picked up more points than Alpine.
In Baku we were lucky. In Malaysia they were quicker than us and we put the right tyres on the car".

A source has confirmed that, as of Thursday, Alpine still did not know whether Colapinto would face a penalty for engine component changes this weekend.
It could be at Austin or in the coming weekends, we’ll find out in a few hours.

💬 | Franco Colapinto on whether the chances of a Grand Prix in Argentina have been diminished by the announcement of the African GP:
"I think Argentina’s chances are the same as before. Rwanda is in 2030.
From what I’ve heard, the one in Argentina would be a bit earlier".
🚨 The buyer of Viry-Châtillon, Guido Dumarey, wants to build an F1 engine by 2029!
The Renault 2026 engine was half-finished before the project was abandoned at the end of 2024.
The question is: for which team does he want to build this engine? 😅
The FIA is considering reducing the weight of the single-seaters by 80 kg by 2030.
- Simplified V8 hybrid engines
- Smaller batteries
- Compact cars
The weight reduction alone will enable the single-seaters to gain between 2.5 and 3 seconds in performance.

Pierre Gasly really hopes that V8 engines will make a comeback very soon.
« If we could bring forward the change in the regulations to 2029, to be honest with you, I wouldn’t be against it at all ! »
