2018 British Grand Prix

Recapping the additional news and notes from the paddock at Silverstone on Thursday ahead of the British Grand Prix, Crash.net F1 Editor Luke Smith brings you his paddock notebook.

Valtteri Bottas called the Mercedes Formula 1 team's response to the issues that caused both its cars to retire in Austria "very impressive" as the Finn looks to end his poor run of luck at the start of the 2018 season.

Daniel Ricciardo says he is feeling "more confident" of signing a new Formula 1 contract and finalising his future before the start of the summer break at the end of this month, but is still yet to put pen to paper on a deal for 2019.

Fernando Alonso says the changes to McLaren’s Formula 1 management announced earlier this week will not influence any decision about his future, but reaffirmed his faith in team chief Zak Brown.

Sebastian Vettel has continued his criticism of Formula 1’s stewarding and penalty process following his grid drop in Austria, claiming that the sport's rulebook should say drivers are "not allowed to race."

Romain Grosjean feels his fourth-place finish in last Sunday’s Austrian Grand Prix is a good way to bounce back against criticism following his point-less start to the 2018 Formula 1 season.

The FIA Masters Historic Formula 1 championship has announced it will hold two support races at Silverstone at the British Grand Prix, giving fans the opportunity to see cars from both past and present eras on the same weekend.
