"I had very slight damage but it was nothing. I got the black and orange flag which to me seems unnecessary as the part wasn't about to fall off, there were no safety concerns as it has tethers to the car – it wasn't even moving. We finished P12 when we had an extra pit stop that I didn't need, so it's frustrating. It was a positive Saturday yesterday, and we've seen the car has some pace, so that's at least encouraging. Hopefully we can keep it up moving forward."

Mick Schumacher
"The contact with George (Russell) and consequently getting a puncture probably ruined our race. To finish P13 I think we can say in one way that we're happy that we finished, as not a lot of people did. Being the only rookie coming to the race to finish also is an achievement, so we can tick that box. We had the pace, we had the pace for points and unfortunately we just got unlucky. Nonetheless, we're going to Suzuka with a good feeling."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"A disappointing race as we could've scored points here realistically, without dreaming of them. The incident on Lap 1 with Kevin, we lost all positions and again we received a black and orange flag, now for the third time, when there is no need for it. We have made it very clear to the FIA on the past two occasions and it's just like you have your back against the wall. Mick was very close to points, almost in it, and then he had contact with Russell and that put him out of the race for points. We showed what was possible, but we didn't bring any points home."
