Red Bull rule out signing Alonso (Sky)
„We don’t have space. It’s a shame to see Fernando in the lack of competitive situation he is in but there is no room at the inn within Red Bull.“
Lewis Hamilton encounters more tyre trouble in Baku (ESPN)
„I think today I had 20 per cent more yellow flags than ever before so it just shows how tricky it is with these tyres.“
Perez wants Baku crash kerb changed overnight (Motorsport)
„We had a word with Charlie (Whiting) regarding turn eight (in the drivers? briefing) and I think he?ll have a look and will try to improve it for us for tomorrow.“
Sebastian Vettel Q&A: I had to use reverse three times! (F1)
„Today I?ve probably passed that part 60 times ? and 30 times you think that you won?t make it. You push it to the limit, of course, but this is the completely wrong spot to overdo it.“
Sainz annoyed by ‚ungentlemanly‘ ban call (Autosport)
„I apologised, and people tend to keep going on and on about it. In Canada on Sunday I was watching onboards of Baku, and people on Friday in Baku are still thinking about Sunday in Canada, and asking for race bans, which I don’t find very gentleman or polite.“
F1 could learn a few things from the magnificent Le Mans 24 Hours (The Guardian)
„I wonder what (Chase Carey) made of his time last weekend in the Loire countryside, where around 250,000 people ? more than for any F1 event ? gathered to watch 60 cars of various shapes and sizes race around the clock in the hands of 180 largely unknown drivers. It was everything he appears not to want and it was magnificent.“
F1 2017 Classic Car Reveal – Williams (Codemasters via YouTube)
Villeneuve?s insecurity showing through: McDonald (The Star)
„If I was Jacques, describing my own performance post-1997, I would call it one of the worst – if not the worst – in the history of motorsport. But he wouldn?t and I won?t.“

Lots of questions on why Grosjean got a ban for his Spa 2012 crash but Sainz didn’t for his at the last race in Canada. #F1 #CanadianGP
? F1 Fanatic (@f1fanatic_co_uk) June 23, 2017
Recall the stewards in 2012 said Grosjean’s ban was partly because he „eliminated leading championship contenders“: https://t.co/cskBW5nZaH
