Aston Martin chief trackside officer Mike Krack says the team is “counting the days” until an extensive upgrade package arrives for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Mike Krack said: "It's quite extensive. The main things are obviously aerodynamic and weight, and to achieve that you have to do a lot of things, and everything has been achieved that we wanted. Again, it's part of a large package that we will get, and we're counting the days."


Lewis Hamilton says he has to “come correct” in Budapest and fight for victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix after a difficult weekend at Spa-Francorchamps. Hamilton said: "I'm hoping we can be [competitive]. Well, firstly, I need to come correct next week and make sure I deliver the way I know I can deliver in Budapest. We have to come and fight for that win."

Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies says the team is getting calls from “good drivers” about potential future seats, as he insists Red Bull’s focus is on making the car quicker to keep Max Verstappen amid uncertainty over his future beyond this season. Mekies said: "It's working in both directions. It's completely natural Max gets called from everyone because he's the best driver in the world and, equally, if you are a top team, you are going to get calls from many of these good drivers around as well. The full focus is to get that car as fast as it can, then you will keep your best driver in the world."




Toto Wolff says Mercedes have “lost points through self-inflicted issues” and need to improve their execution, despite leading both championships heading into this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix. Wolff said: "We have shown at every race so far that the performance is there. We have not converted enough of that potential into results though. We have lost points through self-inflicted issues, and we know we need to improve. The team is working flat out to understand the problems, fix them, and ensure we are giving both drivers the tools they need to maximise every weekend."

Liam Lawson says Racing Bulls’ latest upgrade looks “very positive” after seeing team-mate Arvid Lindblad run it at the Belgian Grand Prix, with Lawson set to have it on his car for the Hungarian Grand Prix. Lawson said: "Yeah, I mean, obviously he's been very fast this weekend, so it's very positive. Everything that we've been bringing, all the team's been sort of developing, has been working. So yeah, very excited for [the Hungarian Grand Prix]."
