Stella on Norris' confidence gains through long-term McLaren work
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella says Lando Norris’ new level of confidence is the result of a longer-term “trajectory” of work by Norris and his engineers to give him a car he can trust, after the reigning world champion’s win at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Stella said: "I think that was an important point for Lando himself, and for the team working with Lando, to understand in which area we needed to improve to offer a car that Lando could trust, could drive without having to think too much, but, at the same time, it was also an opportunity to reflect on mindset, approach to racing, expectation, and emotional control. So I think it was an improvement in a very organic and holistic way for the driver and for the team around the driver."

Komatsu on Haas falling behind in development race
Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu says the team has fallen behind its rivals in the development race because of the “constrained environment” created by limited resources. Komatsu said: "Then what happened afterwards in terms of our development race, etc. It's indicative of the constrained environment we've got. Our guys are up against everything, in terms of number of people, in terms of tools that they have and the resources we have. So it's more the fact that I haven't been able to give them that environment that they can show what they're capable of. The fact that we fell behind in the development race is definitely not a reflection of their capability."

Briatore on failed New Jersey F1 race plan with Trump
Alpine team boss Flavio Briatore says he and US president Donald Trump were behind an ultimately unsuccessful plan for a Formula 1 street race in New Jersey in the 2010s, after he joined forces with Trump to pitch the idea to then-F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. Briatore said: "Sure, Donald had no idea as well about Formula 1 - but he's a great promoter. And I made Donald talk with Bernie. I was in the office of Donald. We put in [a] video with Bernie to [find], what was the best place in New York to do the race... Donald [told] us New York is very difficult for a million reasons, but Jersey was the place... But we never succeeded, because Formula 1 was not… considered something special."
