Sebastian Vettel: "Was today unlucky? I don't believe in good luck and bad luck. I think we did a lot in the last few years that was right and we weren't just lucky then; this year it's a bit different and we have had some problems, but that's part of life. We have overcome the troubles that we have had and it's progressively getting better. In terms of pace it's looking good this weekend. It was important to get a good feel on the supersoft tyre. The mechanics were pushing hard and changed the engine in less than three hours after FP1, which is a massive job, so thanks to them that I was able to get out in the second session."

Daniel Ricciardo: "I've got a feeling Mercedes probably have a bit more in the bag. I saw Hamilton is about three tenths up the road and Rosberg was improving and then he caught the red flag or the yellow flag so I don't know, I think they've got a bit more in the tank. I think we do too, but probably not enough to get on par with them yet, but hopefully a good night of homework will pay off tomorrow. I wasn't expecting such a big difference between the tyres, it just doesn't seem the prime is working as well, the supersoft seems normal but the prime is tricky to turn on so that's making it a bit hard. The tyres are going to make a big difference in the race - to be quick on the tyre is one thing, but to make it last more laps is another and that could save you doing an extra pit stop in the race."
