Q: I just spoke to Charles and he said he didn't give the position back because you were in between them, like what you had in Madrid Max Verstappen: ''Yeah, but yeah. That's just- I don't think that should be allowed. you should give the position back to who lost it." Q: Or take the penalty, which he did. Max: ''Yeah but usually its 10 seconds, and now all of a sudden it's just 5. I think that's very strange too.'' Via Viaplay

'I think it's a mentality thing. It's like do or die. Like, either I win, or none of us do.' Lewis Hamilton: "Before I joined this team, when I was in Mercedes, I watched and witnessed the back-and-forth between Charles and Carlos. Several races where they were battling so much that the person ahead just pulled away, and they had the pace to actually win the race." "It’s one thing when that's happening in fourth and fifth as opposed to first and second, and you lose the win. That's significant. The guy is 28 years old, so I don't think it's an age thing. I think it's a mentality thing. It's like do or die. Like, either I win, or none of us do, and it shouldn't be that. It should be, us having got that one-two, which is still a good feeling." "At Silverstone, I could have gone all kamikaze on him and taken him off and lost us the the win, but instead a one-two was there, and I think we got a one-two, or was it a one-three? I'm happy for the team to have experienced that. I'm hopeful we'll work towards a better place in the future." F1 2026 | Mexico
