Romain Grosjean
"Not much to say about the race, to be fair. It was compromised at the first corner when I was hit. Then we had a puncture, and then we had a loose wheel, so we had to stop the car and not take any risks. When you have a tough weekend you then want to jump back in, get back on the horse. The break will be good for everyone, but we need to understand what we can do to avoid this kind of weekend."
Kevin Magnussen
"I don't really understand the penalty. He (Hulkenberg) didn't get anything for what happened at turn one when he smashed into the side of Romain, which finished his race effectively. I didn't even touch him. He could have chosen to back out, as I had the corner. I was on the inside and we were side-by-side. If anything, I was a little bit in front. I just chose my line. It's not like I moved off the racing line. We braked late, so it's natural you go wide and push on the entry. He put himself in danger on the outside. There aren't many positives to take away from this weekend. It's been a tough weekend in every sense. I'm sure we'll do better next time."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"A tough Sunday to end a tough weekend to end the first half of the season. For the race, I want to see the positives first. Kevin fought hard and Romain, well there was a mistake on the tyre change. The guys who change the tyres are under a lot of pressure. It was the right place to happen. Romain wasn't happy with his car anyway. He was 15th, so there was nothing to be gained. If it's to happen somewhere, it should happen here. Kevin drove a fantastic race. He defended and got penalized. I don't fully agree with the penalty. It was very similar to what the same guy (Hulkenberg) did at turn one to our other car. In the end, it is what it is. We would've been 11th, which wouldn't have been in the points anyway. It happened. We need to get over it. It was a tough weekend. Now we go on a bit of a vacation and we come back again and get some points."
