Max: I spoke quickly to Kimi also, he came to the hospitality. You know every driver has made a mistake like that. No one does in purpose as well. For me, that's not a big deal

Gabi on being slipstream buddies with Max: Max always gives me tows, he's the best! He's always super kind. You know I tried to give him a tow as well from T8 to T9, but then there was a yellow flag. But I tried my best, I even took the charge off the car to boost the engine, but yeah, it happens.

Max replying to a question asking about his previous comments on Oscar: Oscar is doing a great job, and I don't feel like you need to try and hide that. It's not a weakness... It's not going to change how I approach my race weekend anyway, right? You can hand out credits when it's due

Max: To see your own little child like that is very special. With my [sister's kids], you hold them & that's very special. But when you're holding your own child that's a step further. In the beginning I felt it was like a packaged chicken in the supermarket so to speak, like the skin...

Andrew Benson on BBC Chequered Flag: One of the most intriguing stories around Max is that he could take a sabbatical next year, just see how the rules go, then pick a team almost for 2027. That's an idea that was mentioned to me, without me even asking, by someone quite close to Max.

Max: I'm also dependent on what others do. But yes, the others do indeed make more mistakes than I do. I'm not surprised by that. If I can be close enough, I know I'll always make the difference. It's just that we're not close enough at the moment. Although it turned out that way today.

Q: Do you feel for Liam on a human level? | Max: I've discussed everything with the team. I've spoken to Liam, and I think that's all I can say about it | Q: Are you confident Yuki can back you up? | Max: For me it's not about that. We need to just improve our car. That's where the focus needs to be

Max on Liam: Our car is extremely difficult. I think that when you put Liam in the Racing Bulls car, he will go faster. I really think so. That car is easier to drive than ours. I notice that when I talk to Liam. Last year the difference between him and Yuki Tsunoda was not that big, I thought

Alex on trading tows with Max: I think Max actually gave me a little tow into turn six, which was perfect. And I think that was what got me through | Q: Did you thank him already? | Alex: I did actually. I did try to give him one into turn 14 and then got one back into turn six

Karun on Sky analysing on Max's SQ3 lap: The car is not hooked up... Max is hacksawing at the wheel... He's really having to work much harder to extract the lap time. He's doing it but it's not comfortable for him

Max: I speak to Gabi quite a lot. After the national anthem he came to me & said 'Max, what are you going to do?' I said put inters. He said 'Really? Really?!' I said 'Yeah, put inters. It's fine. And if you're not really sure, just ask the team maybe to do something with the tyres, but inters'

Max explaining his decision to stay out two more laps: I saw them go off in front of me, kept it clean, and when I saw Oscar rejoining, I thought, "Well, let's stay out," because it was only those 3 corners When I continued, basically, the first two sectors were fine... [transcript in comments]

Q: Did you read that Zak called you? | Max: Not to me, he didn't call me, in any case | Q: No, not to you. But to your management. | Max: Yeah, but I think that was over and done fairly quickly... When he knew how much he'd have to pay, it was over with right away | Q: How much? | Max: A lot!
