Graham Loudon: We will conduct a stress test for the new brakes.

      In Hungary, the Cadillac team will test new brakes to prevent a repeat of the issues that arose in Austria, where both drivers retired in the early laps of the race. Colton Herta will replace Valtteri Bottas in the first practice... Graham Loudon, team principal: "It will probably be hot again in Hungary, but this track suits the characteristics of our car better than Spa, where we raced last week. I am pleased with the progress we have made in the first half of our debut season in Formula 1, but we need to work on reliability. The more kilometers we cover, the better we will understand the nuances of our car to refine it effectively. One of our current tasks is to test the new brakes. Their introduction is a response to the problems we faced in Austria. We will conduct stress tests through a series of race simulations so that both drivers can extract the maximum from the car." Sergio Perez: "Having two races in a row is a serious challenge for any team. It's not easy to constantly move from track to track, analyze the results of the previous race, prepare for the next one, install new parts, and always strive for the best result when the events come so quickly one after another. But we are ready for this, the team is working cohesively. We all look forward to the summer break after a good performance in Hungary." Valtteri Bottas: "I am glad that I was able to complete the full race distance last weekend. It seemed we got closer to the midfield. The Hungaroring should suit our car better. I want to go into the break in a good mood. Many Finns always come to this Grand Prix, which is a huge plus for me. I will definitely be watching for Finnish flags in the stands." Colton Herta: "It's great to get another chance to drive in the first practice. This will help me gain experience, but the main goal is to help the team with the car's development. It has been six weeks since I last drove a Formula 1 car, and a lot has changed in that time. My task is to provide feedback and help the team's drivers perform as well as possible in the Hungarian Grand Prix."
