Pietro Fittipaldi
"I'm happy to have finished my first grand prix – that was the goal. I had a good battle at the end with Jack (Aitken), and I had Kevin (Magnussen) in front of me as well. It was good to get some action in there. My pace was quite good from mid-race through to the end. At the restart I was trying to fight, but I was conscious at the same time that the goal was to finish. I've learned a lot for my next race, that's the most important thing. It's very difficult nowadays to make it to Formula 1 but I can say I've finished a Formula 1 race. I'm thankful to the team for the opportunity."
Kevin Magnussen
"We were just slow today, there was no chance for us to do anything. We weren't able to compete; the pace just wasn't there for us. No matter what happened in the race we'd have needed a lot of people to not finish to be able to reach the points. It was a tough race, you always hope something can happen, but it didn't today. We'll look at everything tonight and see if there are any positives we can take from the day."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"We finished the race with both cars without any major drama. We're not happy with the positions we've finished the race in, but we know we have to improve everywhere. Pietro (Fittipaldi) did a good job in his first race having not driven a Formula 1 car in a year. He drove a solid race; he couldn't have done much more – the same goes for Kevin (Magnussen). We now look forward to the final race of the season and then a well-earned winter break."
