With the huge changes for 2026 just around the corner. Are you seeing the pieces of that puzzle begin to fall into place?
"Yes. Progress has been made, and the concept architecture of the 2026 car is encouraging. We're seeing greater refinement, growth in the organisation and development in our methods of operation. It's going well."
Is our new wind tunnel helping us better understand our updates?
"The fact we now have a wind tunnel available to us seven days a week, 24 hours of each of those days if we so choose, is an advantage. Having our own facility speeds up development and provides more responsive answers to engineers' queries.
"The new wind tunnel is game-changing. It's driving greater efficiency and ultimately, in the bigger scheme of things, that helps us find answers to the how and the why."
We have another update for the British Grand Prix. What is it, and is this the final one for 2025?
"We have a new floor and top bodywork. This builds on the Imola update, but whereas Imola focused more on the shape of the top bodywork, this one focuses more on the floor with a small modification to the top bodywork, aimed at improving the quality of airflow around the rear tyres.
"This is probably it in terms of 2025 updates. We've completed our final scheduled wind tunnel run on the AMR25 – though, as I've just suggested, that could change because of the speed with which we can now organise a test. There are not, however, any more planned tests."

Assuming suspension stuff at spa. But iirc suspension tweaks don’t need to appear on upgrades list document
