Domenicali on German Grand Prix return in the medium term
Formula 1 president and chief executive Stefano Domenicali says a German Grand Prix could return to the calendar in the medium term, pointing to Audi and Mercedes-Benz having their home base in Germany. Domenicali said: "With regard to the potential [of a German Grand Prix], I would say that we don't have to forget that we have Audi that's stepping into the business. We have Mercedes-Benz. We have big partners that have their home base in Germany. I think now Germany wants us to think in the medium term if they can come back into the calendar... It will not, in that case, be a short-term call, but definitely will happen."

Lawson on Racing Bulls' strongest development programme since he joined
Liam Lawson says Racing Bulls are enjoying their “strongest” development programme since he joined the team, as he praised the way the VCARB03 has consistently responded to upgrades this season. Lawson said: "On the development side, by far the strongest. So far, I think everything we've been bringing has been working very, very well. And that's something that is hard in Formula 1. Obviously, you have upgrades that are run through simulations and theoretically can be better. But they're not always exactly what they seem."

Albon on Williams' little fires affecting performance assessment
Alex Albon says Williams have been “putting out little fires” this season, making it difficult for him to separate his own performance from the car. Albon said: "It's very psychological this year, in that sense, because there is no easy thing. As a team, we're also fighting extinguishers. We have little fires that we're trying to put out. So it's hard to differentiate what's you and what's the car."

Stella on McLaren maintaining momentum in the title fight
McLaren boss Andrea Stella says his team can still “achieve a great deal” in the title fights if it can maintain the momentum it showed in Budapest, where Lando Norris took a first win of the season before the summer break. Stella said: "If we can continue the season as we did in Budapest, we can still achieve a great deal. To do so, we must keep pushing with the development of the MCL40 and ensure we outpace our rivals - who certainly aren't standing still - in this race within the race, which is the competition over updates. In the first part of the season, we struggled more than we expected in this regard too, but I believe that in recent years, once we've gained some momentum, we've been able to maintain it."

Hawkins on women reaching Formula 1 in the next few years
Aston Martin driver ambassador Jessica Hawkins says she believes a woman will race in Formula 1 within “a few years”, as she backed the F1 Academy to help develop drivers capable of fighting for grand prix seats. Hawkins said: "I think we're a few years away from it. But I do believe it will happen. I would be a fraud if I sat here and said I didn't think that would happen because I do believe it. If I were to say no, it would go against everything I stand for."

Antonelli on fame and lack of privacy
Kimi Antonelli says there are times he wishes he was not famous so he could have more privacy, even as he enjoys the support he gets when he returns home to Italy. Antonelli said: "To the other question of being famous, for sure there are times where you would like not to be recognised when you do certain things, when you go for dinner. But that's also part of being an athlete. To be fair, as long as you're able to embrace these moments, I think it's also very nice and very enjoyable. But, of course, there are times where I would like to be unrecognised."
