What happened: Team principal Laurent Mekies said Red Bull is not in serious discussions to supply any additional Formula 1 team. Aston Martin's Mike Krack reaffirmed the team's commitment to Honda.

Why it matters: The statements cool speculation about a supplier change amid Aston Martin's power-unit difficulties. Mekies said Red Bull is focused on improving drivability and engine-chassis integration before considering another customer.

By the numbers: Krack said Honda reached its 500th Formula 1 race at the United States Grand Prix.

What to watch: Further talks would depend on Red Bull's readiness to supply another team and Aston Martin's plans with Honda.
