NO101 (STUB101), LotusF1 Team

"It was a long race this week and a finish here almost always brings points, I was very lucky to claim third but never gave up till the flag was dropped and it paid off."

Gav25182, LotusF1 Team (now Williams F1 Team)

"I got lucky with the aborted qualifying. Brakes caught me out and i went straight on at St Devote. Second quali lap was average, the track was so slippery, no grip whatsoever. cut the chicane and ended 6th. Made a half decent start, running 5th, moving to 3rd when 2 others made a mistake. I was held behind bolokov, but he spun at Tabac after 8 or 9 laps. I was running a clear second when the race was red flagged. Quali was the same again, average lap, slippery, cut chicane. This time 7th out of 8. Made an ok start, up to 5th when someone made a mistake, and then 4th when 1 person touched another at the hairpin. I went round the outside with the help of a nudge, and chased after ferrari mania. He cut a chicane and gave me 2nd (probably didn't need to tbh) and i was running fine before i made a mistake due to messing with my brake balance. Hit the wall at noghes, pitted for a new wing. Then the SC came out, it glitched and i hit it!

Ferrari Mania, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team

"Was a strange race weekend that sadly didn't go as we all expected, Happy with my starting position even if we seemed off the pace. The race? second on the last lap and got overtaken by the Force India on new option. Crossed the line 3rd and was given an unknown time penalty. Myself and the team cannot be satisfied with the result and would rather put this bad weekend behind us and look towards Montreal, where I hope for a good result. Only positive to the weekend is that we're only 12 points off the lead.

PDids9, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team

"Tricky race at the end for me."

jamesboro1993, Sahara Force India F1 Team

"Was an interesting race, 7 pit stops made it a little more challenging to get a good point finish, good race all in all.

LIAMATTHURSO, Scuderia Ferrari

"It was a great race, car felt great, everyone was really clean & really nice & just happy to win."

Hudunikibolokov, Williams F1 Team

"Was looking good on over one lap in qualifying but that all disappeared into dust as I couldn't find any pace and it seemed I was on ultra defense for the entire race and pinned my hopes that when the fuel lowed I would be quicker but just made the handling even worse. Overall I'm disappointed in the lack of pace to the front runners in the opening two races but hopefully with Williams new signing "Gav", the teams and my fortunes improve."
