The Quotes
Charles Leclerc | “I know in the past we have had so much support here, so to be here in that position I am pretty sure it is going to be special.”
Max Verstappen | “I race exactly like I always race because that is how I am. Charles is aggressive, too, and you can clearly see that. We have nice battles, but we don’t touch.”
Carlos Sainz | “I have been in the fight for pole in the three races and maybe I was missing the last 0.1 seconds. Of course Charles has done an exceptional job with this car and is making the difference as a driver and he is doing really well but I don’t feel that far [away].”
George Russell | “I think because we’re at just different stages of our career, there’s no hard feelings either way. From my side, I’m 24 years old going up against the greatest of all time – if he were to finish ahead of me, obviously I don’t like it but I’m not going to cry and sulk about it.”
