"It was a tricky, difficult race and it didn't quite pan out the way we wanted. The start was alright, but I think we were having difficulties in traffic. When we're surrounded by other cars we were struggling for consistency and for grip, which made it quite difficult for me today. That also translates to higher degradation so maybe not a good one but I still feel some valuable lessons were learned and good data collected."

Kevin Magnussen
"I was dreaming of a little more than one point but still, it's what we came here to do – to get points and finish in the top 10. I don't think it was an easy race to get points in because all the big teams finished up there and P10 is more or less the best we could've hoped for in terms of the pace we had. I think the pace was good, but we had a little bit more degradation than the rest of the field. It was a strong weekend, bringing something good to the car and getting a point at home."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"We scored points again, three times out of five this year and that's good, but it's a tough crowd out there. We're there or abouts and if nothing happens at the front then we're fighting for the last points which are leftover, and we got them this weekend after a very good qualifying. The race started very well, in the middle of the race we fell back a little, but we took a point home. All in all, it's still positive. It's tough and every point counts this year, and we need to be around when there are big points being dished out. I think we are always around so that day will come, but we've taken something away from our first home race."
