Kevin Magnussen
"Firstly, I'm just very, very happy to see Romain walk away from that crash – it was unbelievable. To see him survive that is frankly a miracle. I'm so happy that the halo was introduced, and it was on his car. Without it I'm sure it would have been very different. That's really all from me today. I'm just happy that we've still got Romain."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"We got fortunate today. The good news is that Romain is doing well considering what happened. We are thankful for all the safety advancements in modern Formula 1 in order to protect the drivers. We send a thank you to the FIA safety team and the marshals who were on-site immediately to help Romain get away from the scene. As I said, I think we got lucky – there's not a lot more to say. We hope Romain will recover quickly from the injuries he sustained."
