Alonso on Aston Martin's Hungarian upgrade direction
Fernando Alonso says Aston Martin’s Hungarian Grand Prix upgrade is more about understanding the direction of its AMR26 than expecting it to close the kind of gap he experienced at Spa in a single weekend. Alonso said: "So there is no package in the world that will give you that amount of time, and probably the position will not change if we ran the updated car in Spa, so that is how we treat it. Hopefully, Budapest is a friendly circuit; power is not the most important thing, but we still have some deficits that we need to overcome. But I am more into understanding what the direction of the car is and whether we are on a good path?"

Norris on scrapping battery element of 2026 power units
Lando Norris says Formula 1 should “sack off” the battery element of the 2026 power units, arguing that some of the rules around how energy is used and recovered are “silly” and hard for drivers to manage. Norris said: "There are still some silly rules at times that just don't make any sense… there are some bigger issues that are very, very simple to fix, which I hope do get fixed over the course of this season and into next season. But there are still some things that just will be better if we just sack off the whole battery."

Lawson on deficit to Lindblad at Belgian Grand Prix
Liam Lawson says Racing Bulls have been looking into why he had a “big deficit” to team-mate Arvid Lindblad at the Belgian Grand Prix. Lawson said: "Overall, we should have an even stronger car, hopefully, this weekend. Obviously, for me, hopefully, it's a step closer to the other car because that was a big deficit last weekend, but I also can't sit here and say that it's just the upgrade that was different because it wasn't meant to be that big. So there's definitely a lot of things that we've looked into from last weekend to try and fix for this weekend."

Leclerc on going too far defending against Piastri in Belgium
Charles Leclerc says he went “a bit too far” in his defence against Oscar Piastri after the pair made contact while battling for third place at the Belgian Grand Prix. Leclerc said: "I kind of agree with Oscar, I think. At the end of the day, my view in the car is that I try to push things to the limit. With Oscar, it was a bit on the other side, so that's probably not the way I want to race all the time. It's also risky for me at the end of the day. You are always trying to leave the smallest place available. That was maybe a bit too far… Sketchy."

Russell on resilience amid title challenge setbacks
George Russell says he has had to be “the most resilient” he has ever been as a string of problems has affected his title challenge this season, with the Mercedes driver heading into the Hungarian Grand Prix 50 points behind team-mate Kimi Antonelli after retiring from the Belgian Grand Prix following a first-lap collision with Lewis Hamilton. Russell said: "I definitely feel this is the most resilient I've ever been in my whole life. I take pride in that as my mentality on the outside of the car. I guess it's because I still believe in myself and the team, even when everything looks against us. I've been in this position a couple of times this season, and then managed to bounce back and get a good result, or two."

Antonelli on cutting out unnecessary track limits warnings
Kimi Antonelli said he needs to rein in how often he runs beyond track limits after being warned twice at the Belgian Grand Prix and receiving a telling off from his father Marco. Antonelli said: "I guess you guys know I like to use the track sometimes a bit too much, so it's something that I'm trying to work on. I look back at Spa and the two track limits I did were very stupid. And definitely my dad, one of the first things he told me after the race, he said, 'Congrats, but' – there's always a but! He told me, 'If I see you getting another track limits warning for nothing, I'm going to stretch your neck like a chicken!'"
