Alan McNish: The weekend may prove to be challenging for us.

      Having earned points in four consecutive races, Audi hopes to continue this streak in Monza, although the high-speed track is not entirely suited for the team's cars...

      Alan McNish, Racing Director: "In Zandvoort, we demonstrated good pace and earned points in our fourth consecutive race, which is encouraging, but there is always room for improvement.

      Monza is a special place with a rich history. This weekend could be challenging for us – on a track with such a configuration, it will be harder to break into the top ten, but we are focused on addressing our objectives and will strive to make the most of our available resources to positively conclude the European part of the season."

      Nico Hülkenberg: "In Zandvoort, we earned points again, confirming that the team is moving in the right direction. Now our goal is to maintain this level in the upcoming races.

      It's always nice to return to Monza. It's one of the classic tracks with a huge number of passionate tifosi, where it's always enjoyable to drive a Formula 1 car. The midfield battle remains incredibly tight, but we will try to have a clean weekend – we'll see where we end up."

      Gabriel Bortoleto: "The race result in Zandvoort did not meet my expectations, but I felt comfortable behind the wheel, and we had good pace – this is encouraging.

      The weekend in Monza is always particularly important for me. I spent my entire junior career in Italy, performed well here in recent years, and I always look forward to racing in this 'Temple of Speed.'

      In the last Grands Prix, we were competitive, and I hope we can maintain this momentum and achieve a good result."
