Championship Implications and Vegas Aftermath
📌 McLaren's Lando Norris stated the recent disqualification in Las Vegas "doesn't change anything," as the championship gap reduced from 30 to 24 points.
🏎️ Norris is excited for the upcoming race in Qatar, focusing on securing a good result rather than dwelling on the past, despite the smaller point advantage.
😮 Oscar Piastri confirmed that the team had "a lot more grounding than expected" in Vegas, leading to the disqualification, but he remains optimistic about capitalizing on opportunities.
⚔️ Max Verstappen is entering "full attack mode," committing to go "all in" to stay in the title fight against Norris.

Team Strategy and Future Outlook
🔮 Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso indicated the team does not need additional management figures like Christian Horner, expressing confidence in current leadership including Adrian Newey.
🧪 Williams driver Alex Albon does not expect a strong weekend in Qatar because the track's long, windy corners "doesn't normally suit our car."
📈 Albon predicts his team will finish one place better than the current season, possibly aiming for a podium finish in a few races, relying on the Mercedes Power Unit (PU).
🤝 The arrival of Adrian Newey is expected to attract more talent to the Aston Martin team.

Driver Status and Race Conditions
🚦 Isaac Hajar is very confident about securing a seat for the next season, confirming, "I know I'll be on the grid next year," following a close fight for a top-10 finish.
🚗 The new mandatory tire rule is seen by some drivers as making it a "full push" race, as managing tire degradation becomes less of a factor.
