"I mean the track limits, they painted the curbs, you can't see the track, you are so dizzy, it's dark, you're fading low blood pressure and just passing out in the car and they giving track limit penalties is kind of a joke."
"I think it was a decent race, perhaps, for him but still an extreme way of stating it that he says the last 25 laps he’s almost passing out in those high-speed corners. I mean, I believe him that is just crazy, crazy difficult out there."
"But, nevertheless, all the other drivers managed to do without penalties – or many of them – especially the best ones out there today. So it’s not really an excuse, I think, to still have so many mistakes to get the penalties that he did."
"Of course, it was an extreme exhaustion. It was extremely difficult. So I wonder, I mean, they would need to analyse it. Certainly, it was borderline. They lost like three kilos, so six pounds of body weight in those one hour and 45 minutes that they were racing."
"That’s extreme, it’s like 5% of your body weight, which really really is so tough and it’s such a torture. So that’s something they’re gonna have to look at."
