Jos Verstappen on Marko securing Max Verstappen's Red Bull move
Jos Verstappen says Red Bull adviser Helmut Marko secured Max Verstappen’s move to the team in a “20 minute” conversation. Jos Verstappen said: "I remember it well. I was at Hockenheim, and it was a typical conversation with Helmut. He came over to our table and said, 'I only have 20 minutes.' I told him that was more than enough time to talk. His opening line was: 'I want Max with us in F1 next year'."

Mekies on Red Bull RB22's sensitivity to minor factors
Laurent Mekies says Red Bull’s RB22 has been “very sensitive” to minor factors, making it difficult for the team’s drivers to manage. Mekies said: "Our car has been very sensitive to a number of small factors since race one, and we have suffered a lot in the first part of the season as well. It's enough that, if you pick up a bit of damage, let it be on gravel, on the kerbs, you get a different wind direction, and everything is a little bit on the edge in terms of performance."

Resta on Mercedes avoiding championship distractions
Mercedes deputy technical director Simone Resta says the team must keep its focus on one race at a time and avoid getting distracted by championship talk, despite leading both championships at the summer break. Simone Resta said: "At the same time, we're only halfway through the season and there is still a great deal left to achieve. The focus has to remain on one race at a time. We can't become distracted by championship points or bigger picture conversations. We simply need to maximise every weekend, continue improving reliability, bring performance to the car and keep extracting everything possible from the package. There is still a long way to go."
