"It was a one-way street in the wrong direction today. It was to some extent expected, but we obviously always hope for the best so that it's better than what you had in the previous event. It just once again confirms that we have a lot of work to do on the long run pace and entire consistency because that's really hurting our Sunday."

"We were just lacking pace to where we want to be and we struggled with tyres again, at least more than the others, so it was a tough one. I think over one lap we have really good pace, we've shown that several times this season, but we need to work hard on trying to keep that strength for Sunday."

Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It's pretty clear now, obviously the result is not what we should be doing and it's very disappointing. I think we know where to look, the issue is as soon as we get into traffic and behind cars, our degradation is immense – we cannot get the tyre performance back and we just slip back. We can clearly see it, as soon as we get away from free air and start to fight, we just degrade. We know really what we need to look for, and we'll be looking for it. We need to put our heads together and try to find a solution to this and not hide behind good qualifying results."
