The Quotes
George Russell | “I wouldn’t be where I am today without Frank and Claire. They gave me my shot in F1, like they have done for so many drivers, engineers, mechanics and countless others over the years. Thank you for everything. We’ll keep driving like hell to honour the Williams name.”
Lewis Hamilton | “[We will have] better race pace. We lose a little bit [in qualifying] but it’s not the end of the day. Everyone will lose something but some more than others. I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for us. I find it amusing because the FIA said it was so they could manage everyone’s use of the engine but Red Bull said they were pushing for it. Completely different reasons.”
Sebastian Vettel | “It is not going to be an easy weekend for us, last weekend we were a little bit worse off than normal. I hope we can be back to normal, but these kinds of tracks hurt us.”
Charles Leclerc | “No miracles expected but hopefully we can be a bit better this weekend.”
