"It was a typical start situation where it got too tight there, and it was very similar to what happened to me in the Sprint in Qatar, I got sandwiched. You can't really bail out at that point, so I made contact with Albon which then put him into Kevin. It was unfortunate but there wasn't much we could do. There was damage but the red flag allowed us to repair it, so the car was fine, there was just no performance this weekend."
Kevin Magnussen
"I got a really good start and then I think Albon squeezed Nico, they had contact, and that sent Albon into me like a chain reaction. It is what it is, you've got to move on to the next race, and the next race is Las Vegas. I look forward to that."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"Having a crash at the start involving both of our cars, it just shows which side lady luck is on currently. In the race, after Kevin retired, Nico was trying to do his best with the tyres, trying to find a way around the degradation we have with our car. I think he did the best he could, and in the end, P12 was the best we could do."
