Wolff on Russell's Hungarian GP start problem

Toto Wolff said a start problem that dropped George Russell from sixth on the grid to 20th at the first corner of the Hungarian Grand Prix was down to an engine issue and not the Mercedes driver’s mistake. Wolff said: "It looks like he gave about 10% throttle and the whole thing revved to the maximum, he went off the throttle and it bogged down. I'm really not happy about too many mistakes that happened. So that was the reason and then he drove very well. He went through the traffic easy and then recovered, I think, the maximum points that he could have recovered."

Norris on tyre stint strategy in Hungarian GP win

Lando Norris says McLaren’s ability to extend its tyre stints was the key to his Hungarian Grand Prix win, his first victory of the 2026 season. Norris said: "So, a great race, and to get it back in terms of going long, which is certainly not what I was expecting. But the pace was so good, I could always extend the stints and fresh tyres, and then that won me the race."

Antonelli on Hungarian GP damage limitation podium

Kimi Antonelli said his third place at the Hungarian Grand Prix was “big damage limitation” after a “tough race” in which he relied on strategy to get on the podium. Antonelli said: "It was a tough race. It was really hard to overtake, so we had to do something with strategy. Initially we tried to go for the one-stop, but then [the team] told me that the tyre was too much on the limit, so we stopped. I think today was big damage limitation and we've got to keep pushing because the second half is going to be hard."

Verstappen on unexpected second place in Hungary

Max Verstappen said he still does not understand how he finished second at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Verstappen said: "Overall, I still don't really understand how we are second, but I think as a team we performed strongly. I see it as a bit of an over-performance compared to what we expected, so I guess that's a good thing considering how everything felt. And I saw also when I jumped out of the car again, there was damage on the car for whatever reason. So it was not made easy for us."

Hamilton on costly recent mistakes

Lewis Hamilton said mistakes on his side have been “costly” in recent races after finishing fifth for Ferrari at the Hungarian Grand Prix, having qualified second but started lower down following a three-place grid penalty. Hamilton said: "Obviously frustrated, disappointed to come away with so little, given the car was good. The team did a great job, but ultimately these last few races have been costly with mistakes from myself. It's been OK. It's not been perfect from my side, so I've really got to work hard to try to figure out how I can do better in the second half."
