Piastri on Leclerc avoiding sanction for Belgian GP collision
Oscar Piastri said Charles Leclerc should at least have been shown a black-and-white flag after their lap-eight collision while battling for third at the Belgian Grand Prix, which stewards decided required no action. Piastri said: "From where I was at, I was on the white line and got squeezed. I don't really know where I was supposed to go, so the fact that was no... I'm not saying it needed to be a penalty necessarily, but at least a black-and-white flag or something like that, because if we think that that's fine… even just the incentive of knowing that you can leave everyone the absolute bare minimum space and get away with it, that's not the nicest place to be."

Antonelli on Spa turnaround after 2025 Belgian GP low point
Kimi Antonelli said he could not have imagined his turnaround at Spa-Francorchamps a year after what he described as “rock bottom” at last season’s Belgian Grand Prix, after winning there this year. Antonelli said: "No, absolutely not. Last year here, I probably reached the bottom. It was a very difficult weekend for me mentally. But this year was definitely a lot better. If you had asked me last year, at this moment, I probably would have said no."

Antonelli on Mercedes system issue raised by Russell
Kimi Antonelli says a driver's input can make Mercedes’ system go “a bit crazy”, as he responded to team-mate George Russell’s complaints about an ongoing issue. Antonelli said: "It can be a little bit down to driving, but sometimes the system just does something a little bit different. It's very complicated. Also, with the driving, sometimes, especially on tracks like this that are very energy-demanding, if you start driving differently, then for the system it's a bit crazy. So, it is tricky. But I have to agree that this weekend, for George, there was a slight issue. I'm sure it will be fixed for Budapest."

Hamilton on Spa crash compromising Belgian GP weekend
Lewis Hamilton says his crash in third practice at Spa-Francorchamps compromised his weekend and left him believing he could have fought for victory in the Belgian Grand Prix, which he finished fourth. Hamilton said: "Ultimately, it was not a good weekend from my side. I think my race pace was strong today and I think without the damage, and probably without yesterday, I think we could have been fighting for the win today. Even with the damage I was challenging Charles [Leclerc]. It is what is, we move on, and hope we can have a better weekend next weekend."
