Valtteri Bottas says Cadillac are still in a “no man’s land” despite recent upgrades bringing the team closer to the Formula 1 midfield, after both cars finished at Silverstone. Bottas said: "It's definitely good to finish, and the last three races we haven't, so now finally, we did it.

Hamilton on Ferrari's task to close Mercedes in title fight
Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari must keep “extracting everything we can from each weekend” if it is to close down Mercedes in the title fight, as he played down how hard it will be for anyone to catch the pace-setting team. Lewis Hamilton said: "Mercedes is a phenomenal team. You're seeing them perform at such an amazing level, and it's really beautiful to see when a team's fully in synergy. What they've brought and what they've done this year is mighty, and I think it's going to take a huge amount for anyone to close them down. We just have to extract everything we can from each weekend, and even, if possible, a little bit more than maybe what performance-wise is possible."

Mekies on Hadjar learning from Verstappen
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies said Isack Hadjar is learning from Max Verstappen and making “a step forward every time he goes out with the car”. Mekies said: "Honestly, he has been strong since the beginning of the season. He's learning a lot from Max, he's learning a bit more every time he drives the car. And today was no different. He's not going to be satisfied with a P5 or with a P4 – we are not going to be either. But certainly the big picture for us is that it's a step forward every time he goes out with the car, and that's positive for the rest of the season."

Alonso on Aston Martin's Hungarian GP upgrade as first step
Fernando Alonso says Aston Martin’s long-awaited aerodynamic upgrade for the Hungarian Grand Prix has to be only “the first step”, with the team needing to keep pushing developments even if this season’s gains are limited. Alonso said: "This year, whatever the upgrade is and whatever we can improve, it will never be enough. We will always miss an extra package. So, it has to be clear to the fans that we are working day and night to improve the car. We will get better. We will win races. Not this year, so this is only the first step in the plan; it cannot be the last one."

Wolff on Mercedes prioritising performance over reliability
Toto Wolff says Mercedes would rather accept “reliability gremlins” than be down on performance, after a series of issues this season that have ended races early for both George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. Toto Wolff said: "I think we are such a performance organisation on the chassis and engine side; we want to squeeze everything out. I'd rather dial back a little bit on something that is really good, and fix some of the reliability gremlins rather than running behind performance. So far we've won seven races out of nine, and I'd rather have this than slow and reliable."

Gasly on Goodwood Festival of Speed
Pierre Gasly said the Goodwood Festival of Speed is “the most beautiful car event in the world”, joking he could quickly go “bankrupt” there because of the temptation to buy what he sees.

Button on why Hamilton's Ferrari form has improved
Jenson Button says Lewis Hamilton's improved form at Ferrari is mainly because the latest generation of Formula 1 cars suits his driving style, rather than him simply becoming more settled in the team. Button said: "It has to be part of it, but I still think the biggest part of it is just the car. The car suits his style more. It's a Formula 1 car he's used to driving in terms of feel. For me, that is way above settling into a team and making them listen."

Jenson Button says Max Verstappen is frustrated at Red Bull and expects him to be looking elsewhere. Button said: "I think he sounds really frustrated at the moment. He puts a happy face on a lot of the time, but I think he's very frustrated with the situation. A lot of people that he's worked with for many years and won championships with have left and gone elsewhere. It must feel a bit lonely within that team for him. Everyone's brand new around him. So I think he'll be looking elsewhere. Yeah, I really do for next year."

Button on Aston Martin's Hungary upgrade expectations
Jenson Button says Aston Martin should not expect an immediate turnaround from its single large upgrade package, which the team is set to introduce at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Button said: "Yes, they're not going to be fighting for podiums, I'm sure, with this upgrade, but it will be a step in the right direction, already looking to 2027. It's not a quick fix in Formula 1 when you're racing against the likes of McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull. These teams are the best in the business, and it is very difficult to lift yourself up from where Aston are and bring themselves to the front in a 12-month period."

Hulkenberg on Audi's early-season reliability progress
Nico Hülkenberg says Audi expected early-season “headwind” as it built its engine, gearbox and hydraulics package “from scratch”, and he feels the team has already made progress despite its reliability problems. Hülkenberg said: "I think it was always clear that it would be a bit of a headwind, especially at the beginning. But especially on the engine, gearbox and hydraulics side, we did everything from scratch and by ourselves for the first time. So, yeah, we had a few difficulties and battles with reliability at the beginning of the season, but I really feel we've already progressed a lot. Whilst we don't have too many points, there has been a lot of progress, but it's not really reflected in the championship yet."
