Ocon on his Formula 1 summer break plans
Haas driver Esteban Ocon says he plans to unwind over the Formula 1 summer break by spending time on a boat with friends and family.

After the intensity of the first half of the season, that simplicity is exactly what I need to relax and unwind and spend a few consecutive days with loved ones."

Albon on Williams addressing long-standing car weaknesses
Alex Albon says Williams is making the “biggest effort” he has seen to fix long-standing “genetic DNA” weaknesses that have affected the team’s car on tracks with medium-to-high-speed, constant-radius corners. Albon said: "We know the weaknesses of the car, we know the direction [we need to take], and the work that's been done at the factory is the biggest effort I've seen from the team to fight these genetic DNA problems it has. I think we're doing exactly the right things to get back on track. I think a lot of what we're really biting into is next year's car. It is making sure next year's car doesn't have these traits."

Orihara on Honda's FP1 engine oscillations in Hungary
Honda trackside general manager and chief engineer Shintaro Orihara said the engine oscillations Fernando Alonso reported in first practice in Hungary were linked to combustion characteristics and engine temperature, and that Honda improved the situation through the weekend. Orihara said: "So that is not a vibration issue. That is oscillations. We observed an engine oscillation issue on both cars in FP1. From our analysis, that was coming from an engine combustion characteristic. Probably coming from engine temperature itself. Session by session, the oscillations got better. We have made good progress on the oscillations."
