The Burning Questions
Who will replace Sergio Pérez at Racing Point after his positive test?!
If it is The Hulk, surely he won’t finally get his podium in the ultimate redemption arc?!?!

The Quotes
Sergio Pérez | “I’m extremely sad – definitely one of the saddest days in my career. The amount of preparation we put into this weekend to be 100% ready, I knew I had a great car underneath me, that the team had done a fantastic job. I’m really sad that this happened, but it just shows how vulnerable we all to this virus.”
Lewis Hamilton | “It’s going to be super weird. The British Grand Prix is the best grand prix, particularly because of the fans, the thousands that turn up and create the spectacle.”
Sebastian Vettel | “The main reason for being here is to perform, but we cannot ignore what is happening outside our racing bubble. And the fight against racism around the world that has taken off in the last couple of weeks and months is completely justified because this is not fought and over, or dealt with overnight.”
Ferrari Chairman John Elkann | “Today we are laying the foundations for being competitive and returning to winning when the rules change in 2022. I am convinced of it. Binotto has the characteristics and skills to start a new winning cycle.”
