Wolff on possible Mercedes engine penalties at Monza
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says the team is weighing up whether it will need to take power unit-related grid penalties this season. Wolff said: "In terms of engine penalties, I still very much hope we don't need to take it. We need to decide when that is, when we need to take one, and which tracks? There could be one [Monza] that can be very special for Kimi [Antonelli], but on paper it look like it's a good place to take an engine penalty."

Brown on bittersweet McLaren result in Hungary
McLaren chief executive Zak Brown said it was a “bittersweet” day for the team after Lando Norris won the Hungarian Grand Prix while Oscar Piastri was forced to retire from third with a gearbox issue, with Brown absent from Budapest due to BRDC Classic racing commitments at Silverstone. Zak Brown said: "Bittersweet day for the team. Mega result for Lando taking our first win of the season and his first as LN1. Tough end to the weekend for Oscar after a great drive, being forced to retire from P3 due to gearbox issues and from what could've at least been a double podium for the team. This weekend has shown we've made a step in the right direction right before the summer break."

Hamilton on Ferrari's late VSC pit call in Hungary
Lewis Hamilton questioned Ferrari’s decision to pit him under a virtual safety car late in the Hungarian Grand Prix, saying he would not have stopped if it meant giving up track position. Lewis Hamilton said: "I'm not really sure why we stopped at the end. I got the call right before the pit lane entry, so I didn't have time to debate it. I would never have stopped if it meant that I was giving up track position. So I thought that that would not be the case... I was P2, I should have stayed out. I need to go see why the team pulled me in."

Vasseur on Hamilton's pit-lane speeding penalty
Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur said a “succession of mistakes” led to Lewis Hamilton’s five-second pit-lane speeding penalty at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with the Briton clocked at 0.1km/h over the speed limit. Vasseur said: "Today, it's probably that succession of mistakes that he locked the wheel in the pit stop, that we lost a couple of tenths during the pit stop, and then probably he was trying to be optimum on the pit limit release, and it was a bit too early than the optimum. I think it's when you start to do a mistake, it's quite easy to do more than one."

Bearman on losing confidence in the car at Hungary
Ollie Bearman admitted he “lost all level of confidence in the car” during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend after Haas struggled for pace and he finished outside the points. Ollie Bearman said: "We need to understand why Spa was so good and why this weekend has been so bad because the feeling has been completely the opposite. I lost all level of confidence in the car. I haven't done a lap this weekend and felt good in the car. We think we understand why but we have to look long and hard through things over the summer break."
