Kevin Magnussen
"I had contact at the beginning of the race in Turn 1 – I got hit from behind and the diffuser got damaged – and then from there we were slow. The damage was too much, and I don't know exactly the impact it would've had, but nonetheless it wasn't a great day. You always hope that the next race is going to be better. Singapore looks more suitable for our car so I'm looking forward to it."
Mick Schumacher
"Considering I haven't really driven much this weekend and had a difficult qualifying, to then actually be close to the points – I think mentally already being in the points – it was a strong recovery. The Williams was super quick on the straights, even pulling away in the DRS so I had to get the move done somehow, and it was a decent one. Overall, we're really happy about the performance we've shown, and we really were on a good course as everybody else was struggling on their tyres and we were on a very good tyre."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"The thing about this race is basically we got done by the officials. Kevin had an incident at the start where he got shoved off and his diffuser was damaged. He got a penalty because he couldn't stay on the racing line but with the rear wheels up it's difficult to stay on the racing line – I don't think the penalty is appropriate. I don't think I need to discuss the end of the race because what happened, happened and it wasn't handled how it should've been. Elsewhere, Mick did a fantastic job to get P12 considering his lack of time on track this weekend and our expected pace at this circuit."
