If you call it detox, yeah. It’s gonna be fun.” Mercedes’s George Russell conveyed, “I cannot imagine what it’s gonna be like. This is gonna be absolute madness. Let’s go.”

Four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel stated, “I’m sure some drivers gonna spend some money in the casino and hopefully try and get back on Sunday.” McLaren’s Lando Norris stated “Red and Black baby. All my earnings will be going on number 4.” Daniel Ricciardo twisted his fingers and conveyed, “I was gonna retire, I will not no more.”
