Verstappen ‘beyond frustrated’ at new era of F1 (The Telegraph)<\/a><\/p>\n Max Verstappen: ‘I am not even frustrated anymore. I am beyond that. I don\u2019t know the right word in English for it. I don\u2019t know what it is in Dutch either. I don\u2019t know what to make of it to be honest. There are probably no words.’<\/p>\n 2026 Japanese Grand Prix qualifying report (McLaren)<\/a><\/p>\n Andrea Stella: ‘We\u2019re not blind to the areas we must improve. Reliability, particularly the recurring issues on the battery module supplied by Mercedes HPP \u2013 today’s one that forced us to fit a third energy store unit in free practice three – is something we\u2019re working to stabilise as we assess whether the second battery can be recovered.’<\/p>\n Saturday (Audi)<\/a><\/p>\n Nico Hulkenberg: ‘On my side, Q2 wasn\u2019t clean enough across both runs, so we missed out on Q3. The car itself felt decent and I think we\u2019re right in the mix.’<\/p>\n Qualifying recap (Haas)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘It\u2019s a shame about qualifying, but there\u2019s still going to be plenty of opportunities in the race, I\u2019m optimistic. If it was 12 months ago, I\u2019d be much less so, however there\u2019s going to be a lot of overtaking.’<\/p>\n Every journalist should have left in protest at spoilt brat Verstappen (The Times)<\/a><\/p>\n ‘When you let a powerful man behave like a spoilt child without consequence, a precedent is set, a trend is strengthened, a profession is demeaned, and a sense of entitlement is bolstered. And this isn\u2019t good. For anyone.’<\/p>\n “I have been in Formula 1 long enough to know who has good intentions and who has bad intentions.”I thought much the same when he opened up the steering in turn five at Catalunya last year.bsky.app\/profile\/race\u2026#F1<\/p>\n \u2014 Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine.bsky.social)<\/a> 2026-03-28T12:00:36.982Z<\/a><\/p>\n RaceFans always endeavours to credit original sources.
