Wolff on restoring Russell's optimism after Belgian GP retirement
Toto Wolff says Mercedes will try to restore George Russell’s optimism after the driver said he felt “numb” to disappointment following his lap-one retirement at the Belgian Grand Prix. Wolff said: "You have to understand that a driver is very emotional when these situations happen. But on the other side, as a Formula One driver, you're part of a very elite group. I think it's quite an honour to drive a Mercedes. Sometimes we let ourselves down, and it's not just the driver, but it's also us. So, I hope the numb feeling goes away. We will try to help to recreate optimism and positivity."

Leclerc on Ferrari's difficult-to-predict Hungary performance
Charles Leclerc says it is difficult to predict whether Ferrari will be strong at the Hungarian Grand Prix, after expectations heading into Monaco did not match the team’s performance once it arrived. Leclerc said: "We could be, but we could also not be, and we'll never know until we go there. I think it's very difficult to predict the level of performance of every team. I recall very well what the overall feeling was before Monaco, and we arrived in Monaco and were underperforming compared to what everybody thought we would. We need to be cautious. We just need to do our homework, just like we do at every different track."

Hamilton on taking responsibility for fourth in Belgium
Lewis Hamilton says he takes full responsibility for finishing fourth at the Belgian Grand Prix, saying his crash in final practice affected the balance of his rebuilt Ferrari and led to a “domino effect” that left him out of position. Hamilton said: "I don't count myself unlucky. I think about my mistake that I made yesterday. So, I take full responsibility really for the fourth place I ended up getting because I damaged the car. Then when they rebuilt the car, they missed something on the suspension. The balance was completely different. So that meant I was probably a good couple of tenths, maybe three tenths slower than I should have been in qualifying."
