"One point is worth a lot these days. It felt like a very clean race, and a really good race by the team strategy-wise. We split the cars during the Safety Car which was discussed before the race and that worked out well. At the restart when the faster cars disappeared, I managed to get free air, good pace, and a good rhythm. I think that was key, but also the teamwork from Kevin today to slow down the others for me to be able to make a pit window. It was perfect teamwork, and I'll return the favor to him later in the season."
Kevin Magnussen
"I showed good pace but unfortunately I got two penalties, so that's not a great day for me of course, but I think I made up for it with the effort in keeping everyone behind to create a gap for Nico to pit. He scored a point so that's super important and right now, I'm not fighting for a championship, so the real fight is in the Constructors' Championship, and I'm happy that we scored a point today. It's huge for the team, we earned it today, and it's positive that we have the pace – for a second race in a row we've shown that we have good pace."
Ayao Komatsu, team principal
"Today was an amazing team effort and I'm so happy that it was from great teamwork. We were fighting for P10 – one point – but against eight other drivers, so everything had to be perfect to take the opportunity. Today, Kevin got two penalties, but once we realized he was out of points contention, we made a great call and Kev drove fantastically to hold those guys back while setting a target lap time, and Nico drove faultlessly. It was a huge team effort, congratulations to everyone, and I'm really looking forward to the next race."
