Hamilton: “I am 100 per cent committed to this team and there is nowhere else I want to be. Just because we have hit a rough patch, it is not in my DNA to pack up. We are still world champions and we can fix this. It will be a painful year that we will have to ride out together.”

Hamilton: “The sport has to do something about this because if the FIA are relaxed with these rules then all the teams will go over [the budget] and spend millions more. Only getting a slap on the wrist is not great for F1. They might as well not have a cost cap in the future.”
