Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has criticised "Teletubbies engineers" as Oscar Piastri labelled backmarkers "unacceptable" after he made contact with Carlos Sainz at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Lando Norris quipped McLaren were in "new man's land" ahead of starting from the head of a Grand Prix grid for the first time this year, as Lewis Hamilton maintained hope that he could fight back from his qualifying penalty in the Hungarian Grand Prix.
George Russell has been forced to change his power unit ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix after a crack on his engine caused a water leak in qualifying.
Lewis Hamilton and world championship leader Kimi Antonelli have been given penalties to shuffle the order at the top end of the Hungarian Grand Prix grid.
George Russell admitted Mercedes' fears about Ferrari's likely strong pace at the Hungarian Grand Prix materialised in a Friday practice dominated by their world championship rivals.
Lewis Hamilton says he 'really believes' Ferrari can enable him to fight for an eighth world championship title this season.
George Russell is optimistic Mercedes have identified and resolved the glitches that have afflicted his car's power unit ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix.
The 2026 Formula 1 head-to-heads with all of the latest Qualifying, Sprint and Grand Prix scores in each of the 11 teams.
George Russell says he feels he has been "knocked down" but has vowed to "get back up" after the latest setbacks to his world championship challenge at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli has admitted he could not have imagined being in a dominant position at the top of the Formula 1 world championship 12 months ago when he reached "rock bottom" during his rookie campaign.
George Russell says a power issue with his Mercedes was to blame for leaving him vulnerable to a first-lap collision with Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton that took him out of the Belgian Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli overcame an unfortunately-timed Virtual Safety Car to overtake Charles Leclerc and win the Belgian Grand Prix on a day team-mate George Russell's title hopes suffered a major fresh setback.
George Russell says he no longer believes his driving style is the reason he is struggling to match the pace of his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli.
Kimi Antonelli admits starting Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix alongside Max Verstappen on the front row is "not going to be straightforward" at a track where holding pole position has often proved a poisoned chalice.
Lewis Hamilton says he is hopeful Ferrari can close on their rivals as the Belgian Grand Prix weekend progresses despite admitting the Italian team's deficit in Friday practice was "bigger than anticipated".
George Russell has admitted he needs to be better if he is going to stay in title contention this season.
Mercedes have accepted the blame for Kimi Antonelli's mechanical failure which likely cost him victory at the British Grand Prix and saw him score no points in the Silverstone race.
Kimi Antonelli built on the momentum of his earlier Sprint win to claim pole position for Sunday's showpiece British Grand Prix.
Kimi Antonelli still believes he has momentum in the title race against Mercedes team-mate George Russell, despite losing ground in the last two races.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff doubts Ferrari will be able to maintain their current scale of car development through the season against the constraints of Formula 1's budget cap, reckoning they should be "running out of money soon".
