Renault team owner Gerard Lopez has admitted that he was "surprised" by Nick Heidfeld's decision to opt to take legal action against the team was an "emotional reaction" to their decision to replace him from the Belgian Grand Prix.

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has defended his work in the team since being paired with Fernando Alonso, saying that he was working on improving his form but insisting that he does not believe he has necessarily been "slow" so far.

Renault team boss Eric Boullier says that new race driver Bruno Senna "needs more time" to develop into his new role, though he believes that Senna's overall performance in the Belgian GP was enough to give the team a boost. 

The Ferrari team have said that they will redouble their efforts to get to the root of their car issues with the harder compound Pirelli tyres, after Fernando Alonso's efforts to win the Belgian GP were hit by the prime tyre performance.

McLaren driver Jenson Button says that he is preparing for another year with the Woking squad in 2012, and is now simply waiting on the team getting round to taking up their option on his services for next year's championship.

The McLaren team is not throwing in the towel on the 2011 world championship just yet, despite Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel returning to winning ways at the Belgian GP and extending a seemingly insurmountable championship lead. 

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has hailed his team's 1-2 finish in the Belgian Grand Prix, saying that the team's quick reactions throughout the weekend had allowed them to secure a "massive result" in Spa-Francorchamps.

The Italian Grand Prix in two weeks time will become the first race of the 2011 season to feature two fully-independent DRS overtaking zones in the race, with the FIA planning to introduce the required timing technology at Monza.

Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has admitted that his team had "genuine safety concerns" about the condition of their blistered front tyres prior to the start of the Belgian GP, but was glad to see the team get through the race unscathed.
