I remember walking back to the pits. I had the sympathy from everyone but I felt I had so much sympathy this year, it means nothing” He then explained how he took his frustrations out on a wall that he shared with then teammate Max Verstappen "I got back to my room and I started punching the door in my room. It was cheap material and I put my hand through it. Then my hand followed through and hit a metal bracket. Then I kicked it, and it went through into Max’s room. He was still on track, so it was fine. When he walked back, his trainer messaged us that night and said thanks for decorating my room" He signed off by revealing how he almost broke his hand and how the team responded to it "Then my hand started to swell. I got a little ultrasound machine to check if the bone was broken. For an hour or so, I was really dark on myself, because I was like, ‘I’ve just broke my hand’. But I hadn’t! It was one of those situations where, because I had such a bad run, they couldn’t get angry at me for getting angry. It was just an awkward thing. But it was OK!" Fast Feed McLaren CEO Zak Brown thinks that “it would be great if Ferrari joined IndyCar” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko thinks that "Max Verstappen is the only driver who can keep up with Mercedes. The others are nowhere at all. And Verstappen isn't that far behind them either" Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel revealed that he is “taking a few digital notes with” his “iPad now, but” he prefers “pen and paper” He also feels that social media is “done in a way that clearly makes you addicted. So yeah” it’s “not for” him McLaren's technical manager, James Key divulged that he “certainly had some influence” on the car’s design “and in the end the car falls back on” him “because no one else is responsible for it” However, he pointed out that “it is actually a team product” and their success is “thanks to the excellent boys or girls who work within the team and decide what” they do “year after year” Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton is seeing “now that something is waking up, there are people who are changing slowly” He added that “not everyone changes, you still have teams that say nothing, or do not feel responsible” Alpha Tauri’s Daniil Kvyat will find it “very interesting to suddenly have fans on the circuit again” when they will race in Russia Renault’s team principal Cyril Abiteboul feels that the protests are “not about the battle between teams or team bosses, but answers to an unclear situation” He also feels “that the FIA is indeed investigating this to the bottom. Until then, however” they “cannot rest” If F1 opens the circuits to fans at a race near you, would you attend?
