Antonelli on Silverstone damage and missing out on points
Kimi Antonelli says it “hurts” to leave the British Grand Prix without scoring, after a wheel shield failure and a track-limits penalty disrupted his race at Silverstone and left him unsure whether there was a deeper issue with his car. Antonelli said: "I lost, I don't know how much downforce, the car wouldn't turn anymore. In some of the corners, the wheel was in the air, so there was something fundamental that was broken. We only know now that the wheel shield broke, but we don't know if something else broke, because by the loss it feels like it was more than just a wheel shield."

Leclerc on British GP win after negative narratives
Charles Leclerc said his British Grand Prix win was a response to the “negative” narratives around him after a difficult run of races. Leclerc said: "It means a lot because when things get tough – and that's literally the situation I've been in the last few races – obviously there's a lot of negativity around me in general, with narratives being created, and it's never a nice environment to work in. But to keep our heads down and to keep working very hard and get the result that we got today, I'm super-proud of the whole team that have been pushing me and helping me to find that feeling again with the car."

Leclerc on ending winless run at Silverstone
Charles Leclerc said it “feels incredible” to end his winless run by winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, after what he described as a particularly difficult spell as he tried to get the feeling back in his Ferrari. Leclerc said: "It feels incredible. Unfortunately the end was maybe not the one I will have dreamt of, but to win after the last few weekends that have been particularly difficult, all the work that we put into trying to get the feeling back in the car. I felt like I had found something yesterday between the Sprint and qualifying but I had to confirm that today. And today, the feeling was back where it needs to be. I'm so incredibly happy."

Red Bull may drop Macarena rear wing
Red Bull has not ruled out dropping its Macarena rear wing after Max Verstappen suffered a second rear-wing malfunction in two race weekends, crashing in qualifying in Austria and again at Copse during the British Grand Prix. Verstappen said: “It’s super dangerous… you get really fed up with it.” Team boss Laurent Mekies said the team would “do whatever is necessary to be on the safe side” and keep “all the options open” when asked by The Race’s Jon Noble if that could include reverting to a more conventional rear wing ahead of Spa.

Verstappen on rear-wing problem causing British GP spin
Max Verstappen says a rear-wing problem that stops it closing fully caused his British Grand Prix spin and is “becoming dangerous” after it also happened to him in qualifying in Austria. Verstappen said: "When the rear wing doesn't close fully, you lose a lot of downforce and you spin off the track. So, yeah. One time, okay, but two times… this is becoming dangerous for myself. And obviously, I don't want that."

George Russell said he was “lucky” the British Grand Prix finished behind the safety car, helping him secure his first podium at Silverstone after a slow puncture earlier in the race. Russell said: "It is my first podium, so really pleased to be standing here. It was obviously unlucky to get the puncture, and then I got very lucky at the end with the safety car, I was glad. It would have been great for the fans for it to have restarted, but from my side, the tyres were so cold, so I was kind of glad to just bring it home in second."

Piastri on chaotic early laps caused by energy deployment
Oscar Piastri says Formula 1’s varying energy deployment is making the early laps “chaotic”, after his opening-lap clash with Liam Lawson at the British Grand Prix left him with front-wing damage. Piastri said: "These tracks where you've got so many straights where you're not at full power, it's just chaotic. Here, by the time you've got halfway to Turn Six already, you've already run out of battery on a normal lap. You've got so many straights where you're not at full power that if you choose to save or use it your delta is huge. Spa and Monza are going to be sad."

Norris on McLaren needing to improve after Silverstone fourth
Lando Norris says McLaren "have a lot to improve" after finishing fourth in a difficult British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Norris said: "Poor start today, I don't know why, so we have to understand some things. Also the car just wasn't very nice in any way whatsoever today, so we have a lot to improve. The positive is the results, and that's really the only thing that matters at the end of the day, but the pace to get them was really, really not good. We need to take a big step forward."

It's just getting better every weekend. Things are very strong. Obviously, some tough tracks coming up, but there's no reason why it shouldn't be strong there as well."
