The Quotes
Christian Horner | “The shifting focus within the automotive industry has led to Honda’s decision to re-deploy their resources and we understand and respect the reasoning behind this. Their decision presents obvious challenges for us as a team but we have been here before and with our strength in depth we are well prepared and equipped to respond effectively.”
Max Verstappen | “I’m just concentrating on what I have to do, and that’s try and drive the car as fast as I can…with an engine in the back. I hope I’m not going to end up like Fred Flintstone and paddle it myself!”
Sebastian Vettel | “Michael is my hero so obviously we all would like, I think first and foremost that Michael could be here this weekend and see his son taking that step.”
Kimi Räikkönen | “Obviously we have some talks with the team. It’s my decision in the end and we’ll see what it comes to be. I enjoy the racing, but obviously we have more fun when we do better.”
