‘It's anti-racing. To drive, they are not a lot of fun. As a pure driver, I want to go flat out - at the moment, you can't'

‘We're doing 600m of lift-and-coast on a qualifying lap. That's not what racing is about'
Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari

‘The car is so slow in the corners that even the team chef could drive it'
Two-time champion Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin

‘It's a fun challenge. If Max doesn't like it, he can retire.'
Reigning world champion Lando Norris of McLaren

‘The cars feel more nimble, agile and way nicer to drive. We need to give the new rules a chance'
George Russell of Mercedes
