Pierre Gasly: “In the end, we started P10 and finished P10 and managed to score one point from today's race. Given the circumstances, I think that's good and that's all we could have achieved today. It was a pity about the incident with Ollie [Bearman] as it was quite a small contact but it brought quite significant damage to my car. Having seen my car after the race I was surprised to see the damage on the right-hand side floor with quite a lot of carbon fibre missing. Considering that, and our loss in performance, it was good to hang on to P10. We also had a slow pit-stop with a hardware issue, which the team is looking into to understand. I might have been able to compete with Liam [Lawson] and put some pressure on him for P9 but it was not the case today. All in all, I am pleased with a point and we go to Mexico City next ready to see what that weekend brings.”

Franco Colapinto: “It's not nice to be watching the end of the race from the sidelines again for a second race in a row, only this time due to picking up some damage. I was sandwiched between two cars going up the hill into Turn 1 and saw Pierre exiting the pits on my inside. Arvid [Lindblad] came around the outside and I was left with nowhere to go and unfortunately, we made contact. The whole floor and sidepod was broken which was enough not to continue to the end. We had opted to start on the Hards and try something different to the others, but it was always going to be tough to make much progress. The balance of the car felt good in clean air, but starting from the back we were impacted by running in traffic and dirty air. I'm now looking forward to going to Mexico City and hopefully turn our fortunes around.”

Flavio Briatore: “It wasn't really the weekend or the result we were hoping for. I think luck hasn't exactly been on our side recently. Both cars picked up damage during the race, with Franco's being significant enough to not finish the race. Given Pierre also lost downforce with floor damage following the incident with the Haas, he did well to score, get a point and only be one place behind the highest scoring Racing Bulls car. We head to Mexico City with the aim to improve our performance and score with both cars, which remains the objective at every race until the end of the season.”
