Hadjar on Silverstone pace drop after front-wing change
Isack Hadjar said he was “very confused” by a sudden pace drop in his Red Bull at Silverstone and called it “a waste of a race” after a front-wing change brought an immediate improvement during the British Grand Prix, which he finished fifth. Hadjar said: "The pace in the first few laps was very nice. I was kind of with Max... and then suddenly, there was a huge drop-off in pace. Maybe there's something wrong I did in terms of tyre management. I went on the hard, new tyres, [but had] no pace. I was very confused. I was told we are missing load on the car, and once they changed the front wing, I went back out again and nearly gained two seconds straightaway, so a waste of a race, really."

Herta on disappointing Formula 2 results
Cadillac Formula 1 prospect Colton Herta admits there is “no hiding” from his “disappointing” Formula 2 results, with him 17th in the championship after five consecutive scoreless weekends. Herta said: "Some good, some bad. I think you look at the positives of what I'm learning with the tyres, with the tracks, the understanding I'm gaining from that, which will be super important for the future. Obviously the results are disappointing. There's no hiding from it. And for me, kind of with my background, I've always been able to win and compete, so it's been a little bit of a relearning of a lot of emotions this year."

Norris on celebrating his first F1 title at Goodwood
Lando Norris said returning to the Goodwood Festival of Speed to celebrate his maiden Formula 1 title felt like a childhood dream come true, after he took McLaren’s MCL60 up the hillclimb before appearing on the Goodwood House balcony. Norris said: "This is my dream. I came here with my brother and my dad 13, 14 years ago. I met some of the drivers back then, and I thought, 'One day, I want to be like these guys.' And 13 years later, I get to be the lucky one who stands up here in front of all of you. I get to wear the number one. I get to represent McLaren."

Nielsen on Alpine's constructors' battle with Racing Bulls
Alpine managing director Steve Nielsen said his team cannot relax in its constructors’ battle with Racing Bulls because a “chaotic race” could wipe out their 13-point advantage. Steve Nielsen said: "No. We're not even halfway through, are we? What is it? Ten, 11, 12 races left? No, there's no way we can relax. It only takes a small, sort of chaotic race — we've had some of those already — and if Racing Bulls are ahead of us, they can collect big. I think the gap in points is something like 13, so that could change in a weekend."
