Kimi Antonelli
Pole-sitter in the Formula 1 race at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
“The cars felt like F3 cars with F1 downforce and not very exciting to drive. I don't want to sit here and complain again or someone will shoot me outside the door! Or I can sit at home and drive nothing, but that also doesn't do anything.”

“If it wasn't the tow I got from teammate Isack Hadjar — who will start from the back of the grid after taking new power-unit components — I might only have qualified sixth.”
