🚨 | Toto Wolff says George Russell “found it difficult to cope” with Kimi Antonelli’s performances earlier this year:
“He [George Russell] gets down and it’s difficult to cope, particularly when you have a 19-year-old coming into the team and it looks so easy.”
🚨 | Lewis Hamilton on Fernando Alonso’s new Aston Martin deal for 2027:
"To be honest, there is a lot of drivers at the front that can't compete with Fernando, you know, in pure talent."
"He's just not able to show that at the moment"
🚨 | Fred Vasseur: “On the comment of Lewis, I think it would be a mistake to finger point someone or something.”
“In the good moments, we are winning as a team. In the bad moments, we are suffering as a team.”
“And I don't want to speak about a single individual or whatever. Honestly, I think it would be a huge mistake to start to not be unified.”
🚨 | Lance Stroll on Esteban Ocon:
"Formula 1's not always fair, sometimes you're in situations where... it's just s**t."
"I think he's demonstrated over the years that, he's been great in F1 and he's had a lot of good results. So it definitely sucks for him."
🚨 | Franco Colapinto: "Max Verstappen has been always very supportive with the young kids, because he also made mistakes."
"It's the way he is. The champion he is."

🚨 | Lando Norris has apologised to Franco for his comments:
“After the race, I sent Franco a message apologising for the comments I made that I simply should not have said.”
“Me and Franco came to a good understanding, are still good friends and are both excited to get back racing this weekend.”
🚨 | Lando Norris: "In F1, we want to be against the best drivers in the world, and when stuff like this happens, it's because [they] shouldn't be there."
🚨 | Lando Norris after Colapinto ended his race:
"I think the FIA should start handing out bans for this kind of stuff. It’s careless."
"It costs a lot of money; all my parts are in the bin."
"People should just get banned because that’s not driving that deserves to be in Formula 1."
🚨 | BREAKING!
Multiple sources suggest Ferrari is looking to 'stage manage' Vasseur out of his role after this season, to allow him to return to a lower profile and less stressful life to concentrate on personal priorities.
The suggestion is that Ferrari intends to give Vasseur the ability to leave the team on agreeable terms and allow for a succession plan.

🚨 | Jacques Villeneuve on Ferrari’s intense internal battle:
“If you look at the two Ferrari drivers, they react very strongly to being beaten by their team-mate, much more than any other team - it’s like the end of the world.
It seems to me to be more important to be ahead of your team-mate than on pole.
🚨 | Max Verstappen: “It's a shame. The whole weekend we are doing a good job, I'm happy with the car. And then it all just falls apart in qualifying because problems out of my control.”
🚨 | Christian Horner has opened the door to a potential Ferrari move:
“I’ve always just been an employee. I spent 21 years sitting on the pit wall and I don’t need to go back to doing that. At this point in my life, there’s only one team I would accept not having an ownership stake in.”
“Ferrari is the most important brand in Formula 1. It’s the dream. And you could say it’s the sleeping giant of F1.”
“I feel like I’ve still got another dance to do. And Toto needs his f****** hair ruffled.”
🚨 | Zak Brown: "The door is still wide open for Max. For 2028, 2029, or any year for that matter."
"I enjoyed getting to know him better and would love to work with him someday."

🚨 | Toto Wolff: "I really tried to speak to Michael Masi and guide him all along the year. I said, ‘Listen, I’ve been in the sport for a long time, listen to the drivers, don’t always be stubborn in your decision making, don’t be arrogant.’"
"I tried that for the good of the sport, and obviously also for us as a team not to be vulnerable to situations that could be totally detrimental."
“I think Max and Lewis were deserving champions. There were instances during the year where Max lost some points that he shouldn’t have lost. You look at the crash in Monza both of them had."
"So both deserving champions, but on that particular afternoon in Abu Dhabi, it was unfair."
