Hamilton bemused after glitch turns F1 into 'Lego race'

"These engines are so complicated and a lot of software is implemented."

— Max Verstappen , Athlete

"Yeah, we had the same speed. I had to stop on track and stop the car and engine and restart it. I've never done that before."

— Lewis Hamilton , Athlete

"It was insane. Like, it's the Lego power."

— Max Verstappen , Athlete

"It didn't feel very F1."

— George Russell , Athlete

"We would all like it to be simpler, but when you have electrical energy and combustion energy all working together, and obviously when you want to ensure that there's sporting fairness between the teams, that is complicated."

— Nikolas Tombazis , Executive

"What happened at the start obviously is not ideal in terms of presentation of the sport."

— Andrea Stella , Executive
