Colapinto on F1 returning to Buenos Aires
Franco Colapinto says Formula 1 should return to the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez in Buenos Aires and believes Argentina could deliver a “record-breaking” crowd if it does, with renovations under way at the circuit. Colapinto said: "The fans are amazing; they are very passionate, extremely passionate, and I think will be a very solid race for F1 to go to at some point, probably some records in terms of people going there. The way the fans support the drivers or the teams would be something that has never seen before."

Wolff on Mercedes reliability and avoiding dropped points
Toto Wolff says Mercedes must “execute cleanly” and stop leaving points “on the table” after reliability issues cost the team in recent races, ahead of this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps. Wolff said: "Our aim is to execute cleanly, deliver the reliability we need, and convert the performance of the car into the points it is capable of scoring. We have left too much on the table recently. We need to make sure that doesn't happen again starting this weekend."

Stella on McLaren's own problems
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella brushed off a question about what he would do in Laurent Mekies’ position at Red Bull, saying he is focused on fixing McLaren’s own problems. Stella said he has “enough to do at McLaren to gain half a second” and highlighted reliability issues “in the power unit area” and “in the chassis area”, as well as operational errors such as believing Oscar Piastri should have been pitted a lap earlier at the British Grand Prix. He added that Mekies is “very capable” and “very competent”.

Orihara on Spa as a power unit deployment and reliability test
Honda trackside general manager and chief engineer Shintaro Orihara said Spa-Francorchamps will be a key test of energy deployment and reliability as Honda and Aston Martin look to learn as much as possible from their current power unit specification before introducing a new internal combustion engine after the summer break. Orihara said: "It will be a test for manufacturers in terms of energy management, so we need to consider how we will deploy MGU-K power on the long straights. The harvesting here is quite limited, even considering the circuit length. This puts more emphasis on getting the deployment plan right. The straights are also a demand on the power unit in general, not only for performance but also for reliability."

Lawson on refocusing after losing his Red Bull seat
Liam Lawson says losing his Red Bull seat after two rounds in 2025 was “devastating”, but he refocused by concentrating on what he could still control and the fact he remained in Formula 1 with Racing Bulls. Lawson said: “The main thing is, all this stuff was happening, and there was nothing I could do about it once it had happened, so I was obviously frustrated, devastated at the time, but there was nothing I could do about it anymore. And so it’s a very normal thing to say, but it’s just, ‘Focus on the things that you can control’… and going, ‘Okay, look, it’s all done, [but] you’re still in Formula 1’.”
Liam Lawson explains how he got over 'devastating' loss of 'dream drive' at Red Bull

Piastri on power unit energy deployment as key lap-time area
Oscar Piastri says optimising power unit energy deployment is still the biggest area for lap time this season, as McLaren works to maximise the potential of its Mercedes customer engine. Piastri said: "We do hundreds of laps in the simulator with us, test drivers, offline simulations, because at the moment power units are the biggest area for lap time still. We have a pretty good idea of what we think will be optimal, or at least what's very close to it, but you can't magically generate energy out of thin air, which is what we all want to do."
