Romain Grosjean
"I'm very happy for all of us, especially after a difficult weekend where we knew we didn't really have the pace. We chose to start on intermediates, which was ballsy. It was tricky, initially. After everyone pitted, it was the right tyre to be on, so I was pretty happy with my choice. We swapped to the slicks maybe one lap too late. I think Kevin did a better job than I did in pitting for the ultrasofts. From there I had a strong battle. I tried to go for (Lance) Stroll. He hit the wall once and I thought that was it, but it wasn't hard enough to get any damage, so he kept going and didn't make any other mistakes, so I couldn't pass. Mentally it was a tough race. The conditions were horrendous, initially. You couldn't see anything. I'm very happy we've scored points here."
Kevin Magnussen
"I was gutted not to see the checkered flag. It's very frustrating, but it happens sometimes. It was tough out there, but it was fun. It was challenging, but good on Formula One for letting us race and not having to start behind a safety car.
"I was getting heat into my tyres again, because obviously I'd gotten out early on the tyres and lost a bit of temperature, so they were building up. I was asked to swap, then I lost another position letting Romain past and getting wet tyres. Then we had an issue, so in the end it didn't matter."
Guenther Steiner, team principal
"To go away with two points here, for sure we worked hard for it, but we didn't expect it. All in all, we got a bit of a good end to this. On the other side, we're now eighth in the championship and not seventh. Coming in here we knew these things could happen, but we will fight hard to get back to seventh. Our drivers, our whole team, did a good job. There was nothing wrong with our strategy today. We always reacted very well. Both drivers kept the cars safe. Kevin would've brought his home but he had an electronics issue. We'll investigate that and why we had to shut it down. Romain did a good job and came home ninth with two points. We keep on going."
