Nico Hulkenberg
"I think I stayed out of the messy part at the start as on the left, two cars ahead of me, there was contact. I managed to capitalize from that on the inside line and took three or four cars which was quite nice and rewarding. I then gained one further position from someone else, so it was good. We went into the race with a three-stop intention, obviously we're not the best on tyre management, so I think it was the right call."
Kevin Magnussen
"I got hit on the rear tyre, it was a pretty desperate move, but it is what it is. I got spun around, and then we had to pit – that was too early for the two-stop strategy with the tyre degradation that we have on our car. It made the situation a lot worse by pitting at that point and I didn't want to do a three-stop, so it really ended our race."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"It was a tough race I'd say, but the positive is the team did the best they could with what we've got. We got close to fighting our opponents, we were on a different strategy with Nico, and it almost worked out. I know almost is not good enough but with Kevin we lost out because of the spin when Sergio Perez hit him, so we fell back. In the end, we know it's tough at the moment, but as long as we keep on delivering with what we've got that's a positive, and when we get a better car, we'll be there ready to take it."
