"It feels good – finally. We've been doing a good job in the last few races but things haven't gone our way. I said yesterday that the unexpected was the best we could get. Obviously, we did a different strategy on tyres – it was very difficult at the beginning. For us, we have to take risks, if we follow regular strategy we don't have the raw pace to be up there sadly. We managed to hold on though and go for one stop in the race. It wasn't really good news for me when the safety car came, but we managed to get some temperature back into the tyres and hold on to P9. That was good news. It was a question of time before we got a good result, but I've known we've been doing a good job."

"Today was one of those races that gave some opportunities, so missing out on that was disappointing. We were on the wrong strategy, but there was no way to know that before the race. We chose the strategy that we thought was going to give us the best chance – but then the race just didn't really come our way. I had some early front wing damage as well, so all-in-all it just really wasn't my day – that's racing."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a happy day today for us. We come away with some points – which is fantastic for the team as they work hard, everybody did a good job. I don't know if it's because we had no Friday practice, maybe it made it a more level playing field. Obviously, we got a little bit lucky as a few cars dropped out at the front, I'm conscious of that, but in the end we took the opportunity. It's a good feeling again to come away with points. Hopefully we can have more of that this year – we'll keep trying hard for it."
