Brundle on current rules hurting high-speed circuit racing
Martin Brundle says Formula 1 needs to move on from the current rules because they are hurting racing on high-speed circuits, after recent weekends at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps. Brundle said: "I think we're all still struggling to understand it, to be honest. I've got a bit of a tear in my eye, because we've lost all the great corners at Silverstone and here we are at Spa with the same situation. These new regulations hurt us on the high-speed circuits."

Hamilton on texting Russell after Belgian GP collision
Lewis Hamilton says he will text George Russell to check he is OK after they collided on the opening lap of the Belgian Grand Prix, an incident that left Russell out in the gravel and earned Hamilton a five-second penalty. Hamilton said: "I'll text him later on because everyone rushes out of here.

Wolff on Antonelli's serenity after Belgian Grand Prix win
Toto Wolff says Kimi Antonelli’s “serenity and structure” has been a key factor in allowing the Mercedes driver’s talent to shine, after the 19-year-old won the Belgian Grand Prix. Wolff said: "We're all surprised. But what was not expected is the serenity and structure that he brought into his game. With Kimi, whether the session was good or bad, you wouldn't see a difference in emotions in the debrief. It is absolutely transactional. What is the problem? How do we solve it? How do we move on? And I think this mindset and this attitude is probably one of the main drivers that has allowed the talent to shine so early in his career."
