"Red Bull had led the push for major changes, which including a significant hike in downforce helped by a larger diffuser. However, Mercedes led the dissenters after its research indicated that overall lap times would be slower because Pirelli would have to run higher tyre pressures, which in turn reduced grip."
"It is a great opportunity to do something fantastic for the fans. We should do it properly."
"The team did say 'expect something similar to last year', for the first test at least. It's pretty much that for now."
"I think we are having some bits which are maybe slightly unusual,
"If you look at the numbers it was rather close between the two of us and it will be close this year."
"We don't know exactly why it broke but we know where to reinforce it and we have a solution so that we can keep on running."
"NASCAR are eying a strategy to help build their international presence but the preeminent stock car racing organisation have no immediate plans to schedule races outside the United States."
"F1 is expensive and challenging, but if there was any American to conquer it in the 1970s, it was Roger Penske."
