via gpfans.comLewis Hamilton says fight with F1 bosses left him 'feeling like an outcast'Lewis Hamilton has expressed his struggles with Formula 1 team bosses regarding his clothing choices, stating that he prefers to arrive at race weekends in his own attire rather than team-branded clothing.

He reminisced about feeling like an outcast in the paddock compared to the sense of belonging he experiences at fashion events, underscoring his desire for personal expression in both his professional and personal life.

via f1oversteer.comMax Verstappen clarifies his comments about F1 becoming ‘easier’ after Liam Lawson disagreedMax Verstappen expressed his views on the 2026 Formula 1 cars, stating they are 'numb' to driver inputs, which he believes makes it easier for drivers to find their limits. This comment came after Liam Lawson, who recently replaced Isack Hadjar, performed impressively in qualifying, being only 0.115 seconds slower than Verstappen. Verstappen's remarks have sparked debate, particularly as Lawson disagreed, arguing that adapting to the new car was not straightforward due to the complexities introduced by new energy management protocols. Verstappen further elaborated that the current cars favour a cautious driving style, allowing many drivers to achieve similar lap times. He noted that the small gaps in qualifying times this year, with seven out of eleven driver pairings within two-tenths of a second, support his theory that the cars do not reward the fastest drivers as much as before. This marks a significant change from the previous year, where the average gap between teammates was larger.
