"I'm upset on having to retire the car as my job is to drive and I've not driven enough over the last few race weekends. Luckily, I don't feel at fault for this, so that's one thing to put in the back of your mind. I was having a good race, I was having a lot of fun – I had a very good opening lap, and I was then trying to manage what we had. Unfortunately, the hydraulic issue meant we needed to manage things, turn down the engine – which meant Robert Kubica got by us. As a precaution then we had to stop and retire the car. I was giving it my best and I just want to get the best result for the team. It just wasn't meant to be today."

"Tough – it could've been better. It seemed there was an issue with the front wing – I'm not quite sure what it was – but I was losing a lot of front end, so I came in to change it. The hard tyre didn't really run how I wanted it to, so we had to pit a bit early onto the medium and that worked a lot better, so from that perspective we can be quite happy. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back here next year."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"Obviously it was unfortunate that Nikita's car had to stop with a hydraulic issue so he couldn't get to the end. I think once both of our cars got into the running it was respectable what was done. Obviously, we had the contact between the two of them at the beginning of the race. We all sat down afterwards, and my aim now is to work on it and we'll sort these problems out for the future."
