Vasseur on Hamilton pit call under British GP safety car
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said the team would make the same call to pit Lewis Hamilton under the late safety car at the British Grand Prix, despite it costing him second place, because they expected the race to restart. Vasseur said: "We are a bit surprised that the safety car stayed out so long and we were expecting a restart. We can discuss at length about the call but if I have to do it now I would do the same."

Leclerc on British GP win after difficult run
Charles Leclerc said his British Grand Prix win “means a lot” after a difficult run of races, with Ferrari’s work helping him find the right feeling in the car again. Leclerc said: "It means a lot. When things get tough, and that's literally the situation I've been [in] 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 head 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."

Russell on first Silverstone podium after safety car finish
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."

Antonelli on Silverstone car problems ending his win bid
Kimi Antonelli admitted failing to score points in the British Grand Prix was “tough to swallow” after late car problems derailed his bid to challenge Charles Leclerc for victory at Silverstone. Antonelli said: "We had two DNFs in three races and obviously it's tough to swallow, because Barcelona I was running P2, here I was going for the win. I think we had a real shot and I was within striking distance. It's a shame I didn't even have the chance to try but it is what it is. It went this way and the most important is that we bounce back stronger."

Max Verstappen said it was “super dangerous” that his Red Bull’s rear wing was “not fully attaching” as he spun off at Stowe during the British Grand Prix, after a similar rear-wing-induced incident in qualifying in Austria. Verstappen said: "Again, while turning into the corner, the rear wing is not fully attaching. And you lose a lot of downforce for that. Just spin off the track. Well, at that point it's super dangerous, because you can really hurt yourself, two times! I was lucky in Austria, I was lucky here, but that's why you get really fed up with it."

Wolff on Antonelli's British GP wheel shield problem
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says a broken front-left wheel shield left Andrea Kimi Antonelli unable to turn properly during the British Grand Prix, after Mercedes simulations suggested the Italian would have caught Charles Leclerc with six laps remaining. Wolff said: "We had the problem with the wheel shield that broke. It looks like it is brake duct, cake tin, wheel shield. Something got stuck in there and that's why he wasn't able to turn. We're going to take the whole car back to the factory in order to take it apart there to see really where it happened, why it happened, and why we had severe consequences of him not being able to turn it."
