Vasseur on Ferrari's British GP result and title talk
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur says talk of a world championship challenge is for others, despite the team’s surprise first and third at the British Grand Prix. Vasseur said: "The championship fight should be your words. We have exactly the same approach with everybody at home, that is to say: 'Guys, we had this weekend, and now let's focus on Spa.' We are improving step-by-step, but I never try to draw a conclusion after one race, two races, that it is a good result or a bad result."

Wolff on Antonelli's wheel shield failure at Silverstone
Toto Wolff said Mercedes “should not break” after Kimi Antonelli’s British Grand Prix was derailed by a front-left wheel shield failure while he was chasing race winner Charles Leclerc. Wolff said: "We think it happened on Turn 9 because that's when it first appeared. But, you know, it's on us. A car should not break and I don't think the ride was worse than any laps before. He couldn't turn it anymore. First it was blocked by a carbon part and then at the end when it was gone... we haven't really done the postmortem yet on what happened. It's just a theory that we have at the moment."

Wolff on Abu Dhabi 2021 and Silverstone safety car finish
Toto Wolff says he would have preferred the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to have been handled in the same way as the British Grand Prix, after the race at Silverstone finished behind the safety car with the FIA insisting the correct procedure had been followed. Toto Wolff said: "I would have preferred for this to happen in 2021. That was more important. But it's good that the regulations have been followed. The show follows the sport, and not the other way around. So it's good that the FIA made that call."

Leclerc on British GP win after negative narratives
Charles Leclerc said his British Grand Prix win was a response to the “negative” narratives around him after a difficult run of races. Leclerc said: "It means a lot because when things get tough – and that's literally the situation I've been 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 heads 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."

Antonelli on Silverstone damage and missing out on points
Kimi Antonelli says it “hurts” to leave the British Grand Prix without scoring, after a wheel shield failure and a track-limits penalty disrupted his race at Silverstone and left him unsure whether there was a deeper issue with his car. Antonelli said: "I lost, I don't know how much downforce, the car wouldn't turn anymore. In some of the corners, the wheel was in the air, so there was something fundamental that was broken. We only know now that the wheel shield broke, but we don't know if something else broke, because by the loss it feels like it was more than just a wheel shield."

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 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.
