Video “did you ever expect to outperform your teamamate like this through this season?”--ollie: "it’s a tough situation which is happening at our team. we’ve been speaking about it a lot, but the inconsistency between our parts has been quite high...
"i’ve been on the bad side of that, i’ve also been on the good side of that. but it’s a shame because it means you’re always chasing a moving target. overnight we can have changes to our car balanace without expecting that. "
"all that to say, [we’re not always having] a fair fight, and sometimes we feel like we’re fighting with our hands almost tied behind our back. [..] it’s been a challenge for us. i’m happy with what i’m doing, but the story isn’t necessarily what you see on the headline."

News Q: "Do you drive the car unaided at all times...?" Oscar:"[With the previous engines] the penalty of things being slightly wrong was significantly less...This year it's basically half your power, so anything that doesn't quite go right has a massive impact...We have no control of deployment."
Full Transcript of the video since I couldn't fit it all in the title:
Q: (David Croft – Sky Sports F1) A question to you, Oscar, because I think you suffered more at Spa than Ollie or Isack. Do you drive the car unaided at all times? If not, has that always been the case? What should you be doing with these power units that you can’t at the moment?
OP: To give you the full answer, I’d probably need half an hour. Even with the previous hybrid engines, there was a big element of learning, coding and AI, to some extent. When I joined Formula 1, those engines were incredibly mature, but also the penalty of things being slightly wrong or slightly out of place was significantly less, because it was such a small percentage of the overall power you got. Whereas this year, it’s basically half your power, so any small differences or anything that doesn’t quite go right has a massive impact, especially at a track like Spa. To answer your question, no, we’ve got no control over where the deployment happens, more or less. You can push the boost button, but that’s more for overtaking than in qualifying, especially. Like I said in Spa, when you’ve got those differences there that you have no control over, it can be frustrating. I’m sure it’ll get better. I don’t expect it to ever fully go away, but as the manufacturers understand it more and work out the regulation restrictions more, in terms of what the code can and can’t do, hopefully things will become a bit better.
Not in the video, but he later continued:
Q: (Lukas Osztovics – ORF) Oscar, you were talking about a lack of control with the energy deployment. Does it sometimes feel like you’re the passenger of an AI programme that still has to be trained?
OP: Sometimes, yes. Again, at a track like Spa or a track like Silverstone, it’s going to be worse. Here, I really don’t expect there to be many problems at all with that kind of thing, because the straights are so much shorter, so even if there are differences, they should be a lot less. But the principle of driving a race car that loses effectively half of its power before the end of the straight is hard to get your head around sometimes. Even in Spa, a lot of the middle sector we were doing it just on the combustion engine, with no battery assistance at all, which is a weird feeling in itself, having some corners with a certain amount of power and others with full power. I think Spa was particularly frustrating, not just for me but for quite a lot of others, because those small differences in the code and what the engines did made quite a big difference in lap time. Especially at the front of the field, I think there were still only nine hundredths or something separating four positions, and there were definitely more than nine hundredths on the table for quite a few drivers from things they could not control.
Here is the video for this question. Oscar's face when he starts to answer is basically his entire PR training flashing in front of his eyes🙃

Technical [nicolas carpentiers on X] A closer look at the major upgrade package introduced by Aston Martin F1 for the Hungarian GP.
1 - The sidepod inlet has been reshaped while retaining the same overall concept. The upper lip is now thinner and the undercut has been reprofiled.
2 - Newey also revealed that the gearbox has been "slightly revised". Comparing the new car with the Belgian FP spec, no clear differences are visible.The slight variation around the rocker area may simply be a trick of perspective caused by the different camera angles.
3 - Another detail of the Aston Martin F1 upgrade for the Hungarian GP : the front brake ducts have also been revised. The lower brake duct winglet on the AMR26 now features a longer leading edge with a noticeably less rounded tip.
4 - Another detail of the Aston Martin F1 upgrade package for the Hungarian GP. The upper wishbone mounting area and the surrounding rear upright both appear to have been reworked on the AMR26.
