"We didn't really know quite how long we could go. We had been planning to go long, but not as long as that. The tyres were holding quite nicely. There was only a bit of front degradation. I was happy with the pace. I was easily managing keeping up with the Renault in front and the Force India behind. If qualifying had been as I was expecting with a P7, it would've been a P7 today, for sure. Anyway, we tried to come back, but our strategy didn't quite work. When we came out of the pit we had a lot of blue flags and so on. I couldn't really come back through the field. We did our best. The car is fast and I enjoyed driving it."
Kevin Magnussen
"Not a brilliant weekend for us. We were thinking that P11 in qualifying was a good result. We thought that would be an advantage for the race – being on a different tyre from the top-10. It didn't really turn out to be that way. I didn't get a great first lap. I was overtaken by one of the Saubers. They had a really good start, and then a couple of laps after I had a Force India that spun and I couldn't get on the inside, so I was on the outside and got done by Fernando (Alonso) on the inside. Things just didn't go our way today. It's a shame. I think the car was pretty good, especially on the supersoft, the pace was good. I think we just didn't get it right today."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a disappointing end to a disappointing weekend. Lady Luck didn't quite go our way during the race. The only thing we can do is look forward to the next race. I'm hoping we'll get a break at some stage and show what we can do."
