Sainz on Williams needing more to close Barcelona gap
Carlos Sainz says Williams need to “do more” to cut the performance gap on tracks like Barcelona, after a disappointing Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix for the team.

Norris on staying close to Mercedes in Barcelona
Lando Norris said he was surprised by how close he was able to stay to Mercedes during the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix as he took confidence from returning to the podium. Norris said: "Quite a bit actually. I just wasn't expecting to be… It wasn't like I was fighting the Mercedes, but I was always there. I wasn't far behind at all, and I probably wasn't expecting to be quite that close for the whole race. So, the fact we kind of pulled things around and we seemed to be stopping on good laps and things like that, I think shows good signs. A better day than I was expecting. I certainly wasn't expecting to be on the podium."

Brundle on Russell's late-stint pace issue against Antonelli
Martin Brundle says George Russell needs to address a recurring late-stint pace issue against Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli if he wants to stay in the Formula 1 title fight. Martin Brundle said: "In the second half of each tyre stint Antonelli had a speed advantage to catch Russell, but couldn't quite make the overtakes stick. This has been a theme generally so far this season and something George has to fix if he wants this championship."

Krack on Aston Martin sticking with Newey's AMR26 upgrade decision
Aston Martin chief trackside officer Mike Krack says the team has to stick with Adrian Newey’s decision to hold off on bringing small upgrades to the AMR26, even though he admits it is “weighing on everyone” after a difficult weekend in Barcelona. Krack said: "Yeah, I agree, and it's weighing on everyone. You can feel it. You can feel it in the garage. You can feel it especially with the drivers. We discussed it already before. It's a very difficult situation. On the other hand, we have a strong leader. When the decision was made, it's for all of us to commit to that decision, even if it's difficult."

Hamilton on bond with Ferrari engineer Carlo Santi
Lewis Hamilton says he has quickly formed a strong connection with his new Ferrari race engineer Carlo Santi after sharing the podium with him at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, where Hamilton took his first win as a Ferrari driver. Hamilton said: "Yeah, it was great to have him up there. I think, him kind of substituting this year, jumping in and diving in deep with me. We didn't know each other, we'd never spoken and I didn't really know anything about him. And we met and I think got on straight away."

Wolff on Hamilton as a title contender after Barcelona win
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton is “absolutely” a title contender this season after the Ferrari driver’s win in Barcelona, with championship leader Kimi Antonelli retiring late on Sunday with a power unit issue. Wolff said: "Yes, absolutely [I see Hamilton as a title contender]. We are so early this season again. I don't know what it is, 40 points [ahead], you see a DNF, lost you 25 points, and it's wide open. That's why we can't afford to not finish, and we need to just keep putting performance on the car, on the power unit, not make mistakes, be clever with the strategy, and stay absolutely on it."

Vasseur on ignoring Hamilton title talk after Barcelona win
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur says he will not get drawn into Lewis Hamilton title talk or change the team’s approach after Hamilton’s Barcelona victory cut Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead. Vasseur said: "I'm not sure that I want to reply to this kind of question. I had probably the same comments two weeks ago, that everything was a disaster - and now we are speaking about the world championship. The approach is to go to Austria exactly with the same approach that I had in Barcelona and not to think about the championship. I will never do it."

But when you understand the circumstances I was in at that point, and the people that understand performance at the end of the day, when you see the level of performance that I'm putting in with my team, you realise that I'm one of the best out there."

Verstappen on Red Bull being fourth-fastest and RB22 progress
Max Verstappen says Red Bull are currently the fourth-fastest team and the RB22 is still a “work in progress” after he finished fourth at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. Verstappen said: "It's clear that I think we are still behind the Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren, because we finished behind each one of them. So we're still P4 as a team.

Lawson said: "Yeah, for us it's good. It's a long season; we have a lot of races to go. Alpine have had some good races recently and scored some good points. But yeah, if we keep this trend – obviously we had a quick car in qualifying – hopefully that translates to the rest of the season. I think Barcelona is normally quite a good sign for that, so we just need to sort out the race car."

Brundle on Monaco pit-lane penalty fallout
Martin Brundle says there is “no easy solution” to the Monaco Grand Prix penalty fallout, with teams challenging pit-lane speeding penalties and the race result still provisional nearly two weeks after the event. Brundle said: "It's all a mess with no easy solution. It turns out one of the timing loops in the Monaco pit lane was 77cm shorter than calibrated hence lots of 60.1kph recordings when the limit was 60kph. It had been a topic of correspondence since first practices, and some teams adjusted their limiters."

Brundle on Gasly Monaco podium reinstatement after penalty review
Martin Brundle says Pierre Gasly’s Monaco Grand Prix podium reinstatement is a “mess with no easy solution” after Alpine’s right to review the pit lane speeding penalty imposed on Gasly was upheld. Brundle said: "That's a very complicated and uncomfortable decision. Other drivers in Monaco had served their penalties and adjusted strategies accordingly, and Russell's race was destroyed, but because they were not post-race penalties nothing was changed for them retrospectively in the results. This also sets a precedent of not serving marginal in-race penalties to preserve the right to contest them post-race. It's all a mess with no easy solution."
