Kevin Magnussen
"I'm super happy. For us as a team, it's very important to get these points at our home race in the US – and it's very big on the weekend that we announce a great title sponsor with MoneyGram – it couldn't come at a better time. Of course, I'm gutted to lose a position to Sebastian. I have to say it was some driving from him, that's when you realize why he's a four-time World Champion. The strategy that we pulled off was purely by guidance with the team. As such a small team to put on a fight like this, it's great."
Mick Schumacher
"I think we were on for good points today for sure, but it seems like we picked up a big piece which damaged the car quite a lot and then we couldn't extract the maximum out of it anymore because of that damage. We got it in the second stint and the car didn't feel the same anymore, and I couldn't keep the pace of before which was very promising. It's a shame as it feels like bad luck follows us."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"After two difficult days, a good result. The whole team did a fantastic job, you cannot ask for more as the car was fast and Kevin was sure he could get to the end with his tyres. I wouldn't say we took a gamble, we took a chance, but we had a back-up strategy to go onto the soft tyres and we brought home some points. I'm not really happy about what happened out there with the other cars that are losing bits and pieces and don't get called in like we normally do, so we will follow-up on that one.
"Mick had very good pace on his first stint, doing a fantastic job and then when the accident happened he must've picked up some debris and lost some downforce. We haven't seen the car yet but I guess the diffuser has got some damage and he just couldn't do the same times with the new set of tyres. Having MoneyGram as our sponsor for the first event, our home race, we are very happy to give them that result - it's a team effort."
