Wolff on Antonelli's title favourite status despite 50-point lead
Toto Wolff says it is “too early to say” whether Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli is the title favourite, despite his 50-point lead in the championship. Wolff said: "It's too early to say. I'm superstitious, even though the gap is 50 points. There are so many races to go, a DNF or two can just swing [the championship] massively, and we've not been great on reliability."

Tsolov on Red Bull links and F1 promotion talk
Nikola Tsolov says Red Bull have made him no promises about a move into Formula 1, amid speculation linking the Formula 2 championship leader and Red Bull junior with a promotion to Racing Bulls. Tsolov said: "They're obviously really happy with me, but there's nothing that has been talked about, nothing clear. It's just keep doing what you're doing, you're doing great, but there's not much more than that to be honest. But we haven't reached the point where there's anything more than that, we're just focusing on F2 right now."

Stella on McLaren's complicated rotating-flap rear wing project
McLaren boss Andrea Stella said it was "no surprise" that developing the team's rotating-flap rear wing has been a complicated and "delicate" project, after seeing how long Ferrari took to get its version ready to race. Stella said: "The project with the rotating flap is, I have to say, a complicated project. It was no surprise because when we saw Ferrari introducing the wing in the Bahrain test, and then testing it in China, it took a few more events to actually being in condition to race, and we knew it was going to be a complicated project... the most important tool, especially when you have this sort of complicated project, remains what you observe at the track."

Wolff on Mercedes' final chance to win at Zandvoort
Toto Wolff says Mercedes have a "final opportunity" to win at Zandvoort in the modern era when Formula 1 returns for the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend, with the circuit set to host its last F1 race on Sunday. Wolff said: "Zandvoort has been a unique challenge since its return. It is a difficult track to master, the fans create an incredible atmosphere, and it has become a race that the teams and drivers look forward to. We have come close but never won there in the modern era. This is our final opportunity to change that, and that's a challenge we would like to meet."
