GP von Japan 2026: die Preview

"We’ve seen encouraging signs in terms of pace over the first two races, but we understand there are areas where we can still improve – both in performance and execution.

We’ve taken time to address the reliability issues we faced previously, looking to ensure they won’t happen again and that both cars will be able to run their full races without disruption.”

"The journey continues: the target now is to keep building, keep learning and make the most of every opportunity."

"The aim now is to put everything together and have a clean weekend and really get the most of what we can achieve. One of the highlights of the weekend will also be the fans: we always get an incredible welcome when we travel to Japan, it’s one of the things that makes this race unique."

“Missing out on Shanghai last time out was obviously disappointing, but I know the team has worked hard to avoid a repeat of this issue.

We’ve used the time back at the factory to keep working and try to extract a bit more from the car ahead of this weekend: the races in Australia and China showed we have a good base, and now it’s about building on that and making the most of the opportunities across the weekend."
