Thierry Salvy, Renault: While we would have liked to get the win today, everyone is aware overtaking is difficult at Monte Carlo. The safety cars didn't provide much opportunity for creative strategy, so we can be happy with a double podium. It's the fourth consecutive year the Red Bull-Renault partnership has finished on the podium, so it is great to keep that record going.

Pat Fry: First and foremost, I'm pleased that Felipe is okay. Today's accident looked very similar to what happened in the third free practice session, but in fact the two incidents are very different. Unlike yesterday, it seems that today's incident can be attributed to a problem on the left front corner of the car. It's too early to say precisely what happened and in the next few days, we will try and ascertain the exact cause back in Maranello. As for the race, I don't think it was the Monaco Grand Prix everyone was expecting where usually the drivers take to the track to race on the limit. Today it seemed more a race of containment, with a slow pace dictated by the leading group: it was reasonably clear that the fact the cars were grouped together had thus reduced the strategic choices for those behind. It was impossible to find a space to make a stop and not come out in traffic, especially because the pace of those running at the back was the same as that of those at the front. Furthermore, the various safety cars and the red flag meant the same reasoning applied in the second half of the race and therefore it was a procession for the whole race which would only permit a few risky overtaking opportunities.

"Checo would also have claimed a decent haul of world championship points but for a coming-together with Kimi that compromised the efficacy of his brake ducts and eventually caused him to lose his braking.

"He's disappointed, understandably, but the up-side is that he was combative and entertaining on almost every lap - and, more important still, he was very quick.

"McLaren has won the Monaco Grand Prix 15 times in the past - considerably more often than any other marque - so of course we're disappointed not to have been able to notch up win number 16 here today. But we were in the mix throughout, and it's clear that MP4-28's developmental trend is positive.

"Our next race will be the Canadian Grand Prix, which we've won 13 times in the past, which puts McLaren first-equal in the all-time Canadian Grand Prix win tally alongside Ferrari. We're not predicting Canadian Grand Prix win number 14 for McLaren in a fortnight's time, but undoubtedly we'll be giving it 100% between now and then in our efforts to make ourselves as competitive as we possibly can."

Romain Grosjean's race ended early following damage to his car after making contact with the rear of Daniel Riccardo's Toro Rosso on lap 62.

Kimi remains second in the Drivers' Championship, but is now 21 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel. The team remains in third place in the Constructors' Championship, now eleven points from Ferrari.

Kimi started from P5 with a used set of supersoft tyres, changing to new softs on lap 26, another set of new softs during the race suspension and finally scrubbed supersofts on lap 70.

Romain started from P13 on a new set of soft tyres, switching to new supersofts during the race suspension and again on lap 30.

Today was Kimi's 34th consecutive race finish – 26th consecutive with Lotus F1 Team - and 23rd consecutive Grand Prix points finish; the latter leaving him just one shy of Michael Schumacher's record.

Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "This is certainly not the weekend we wanted. Kimi was impeccable all weekend once more and his race was ruined by another driver making unnecessary contact with his car. This caused a puncture and basically ruined his race. Romain had a difficult weekend, but showed fantastic pace when he had a clear track in front of him. We've lost ground in both the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships this weekend so we'll be pushing twice as hard when we get to Canada to make amends. On a more positive note, we were extremely proud to have Daft Punk – making only their third public appearance in twenty years – join the team for the race, and would like to express our gratitude to Columbia Records for helping make this concept a reality. The team has a truly unique brand image, and we're keen to continue this unorthodox approach moving forwards."

Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: "A very frustrating race for us. Both of our cars were bottled up in traffic almost all of today, which is what you can expect in Monaco if you're not leading. Romain was unfortunate to get caught out by the car in front, but he has received a ten-place penalty for Canada which will compound today's woes. Kimi was running strongly in fifth position, but his race was completely compromised by the late pit stop we were forced to make. That he was able to make back three places in the last two laps shows just how hungry he is. We head to Canada wanted to return to business as usual."

Ricardo Penteado, Renault Sport F1 Team Support Leader: "One point from that sort of race is ultimately disappointing, particularly as Kimi was in such a good position for 90% of the Grand Prix. From the engine side of things it has however been a good weekend. Both cars were using units for the third race to give us flexibility later in the season when the standings will be tight. Aside from the engine on Kimi's car running a bit hot under safety car conditions there were no issues, which gives us a stable platform for the coming races."

Ross Brawn: Congratulations to Nico today. He did not put a foot wrong all weekend, topping every session and driving a very poised and controlled race. He richly deserves this second win of his career. Lewis was running very comfortably in second position until the Safety Car period just before both drivers had made their first stops. The team did a fantastic job all weekend in a challenging qualifying session and a difficult race. But we are all aware, Monaco is not a completely representative circuit. We will take the time this evening to enjoy our success but know that we need to keep pushing to understand how to extract the maximum from our car at every circuit and keep improving further.

Toto Wolff: Nico was dominant not just this afternoon but all weekend. He did everything right from the first lap on Thursday and he really earned this victory. Lewis lost some time in the second sector on his in-lap behind the Safety Car and that cost him position to the Red Bulls, so we need to find out what happened there. As for the team, congratulations to everybody in Brackley and Brixworth. The guys at the track overcame all the obstacles that were put in their way this weekend and the team at the factory have achieved a great step in performance with the car. Now we need to keep pushing so we can repeat this taste of success at different types of circuit through the rest of the season.

Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: We are disappointed with the result today, because we were in a position to score points. The first safety car period compromised our strategy. But the most surprising thing for us was that we couldn't gain an advantage with our choice of tyres for the re-start. Although Nico was on soft tyres - the harder compound - the degradation was higher than that of our competitors, who were on super softs. Both drivers drove well, but the car simply wasn't good enough on this track. We still believe, however, the measures we took will show an improvement again in the next race.

Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: It was a typical eventful Monaco race with several Safety Car periods and a red flag. Both drivers drove well today, but ultimately the car was quite hard on its tyres. The degradation was too high, and the overall pace was not quick enough to score points. So we need to regroup and prepare for Montreal in two week's time.

Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: A very eventful Monaco Grand Prix and I am delighted to see both Sahara Force Indias come home safely in the points. With Adrian's fifth place and ninth place for Paul, we have added 12 points to our tally and strengthened our hold on fifth position in the championship. Adrian's drive was superb as he showed great speed and patience all afternoon. He waited for the right opportunities and made the most of them. I think everybody enjoyed his two overtaking moves at the hairpin on two former world champions. It's our best result in Monaco and very well deserved by the entire team. Paul was also superb, showing his overtaking skills into turn one, and recovering from P17 on the grid to score two points. I congratulate the whole team on another strong weekend and hope that we can deliver more of the same in Canada in a couple of weeks' time.

Pastor ended in the barrier after Max Chilton's Marussia collided with him at Turn 12 which ended his race and caused the race to be red flagged. It was a heavy impact but fortunately Pastor was unharmed.

Mike Coughlan, Technical Director: We planned to do a one-stop strategy with both cars today but Pastor had contact on the first lap so had to make an unscheduled stop for a new front wing. Pastor drove well, managing his tyres after the first safety car period, but then had a big accident which caused a red flag after a Marussia collided with him on lap 45. Pastor was unharmed but disappointed that his race ended early. Valtteri drove a mature race doing a great job in his first Monaco Grand Prix. The red flag allowed those cars around us to change onto new sets of tyres, so strategy didn't come into play as much in the end as it could have. We were chasing a point in the final stages but it didn't quite come to us.

Laurent Debout, Renault Sport F1 team support leader: Our most competitive race performance so far this season. Valtteri drove a very mature race to look after his tyres and was close to the points. It was a shame for Pastor but we are all pleased he is OK. Montreal is another type of circuit entirely but one that should again suit the RS27 engine so we hope we can finish even better there.

Jules Bianchi suffered all the bad luck in his home race after a problem on the grid, being collected by the barrier after the accident with Maldonado and then a brake disc failure later in the race which brought his day to an early conclusion.

John Booth, Team Principal: Today's race was incredibly eventful for the whole field and our Team was no exception. We are sorry for the problem which Jules experienced on the grid but things started to look up for us from there. Our strategy was working well and we had a to make a few late calls, including the late one to pit Max under the second Safety Car period so that he could take on a fresh set of option tyres and have a shot at Van Der Garde. Thanks to an incredible drive from Max in the closing laps, he got by on the second to last lap and ensured we had something positive to take home, because, by then, Jules was unfortunately out of the race. It was a nice reward for Max after a good recovery following the incident with Maldonado. It seems that Jules suffered a failure of the right front brake disc and for that again we must apologise to him. There is a lot to learn from and improve on after this weekend but in the main we are still happy with the result.

After the original start Red Bull's Mark Webber was the first of the frontrunners to make his scheduled stop, coming in on lap 25 to change from supersoft to soft. But the complexion of the race was altered when the safety car came out for the first time this year on lap 29 – provoking a round of pit stops. Both the Mercedes pitted consecutively for soft tyres two laps later, with Lewis Hamilton dropping from second to fourth as a result of the safety car intervention.

Following the red flag, the teams could chose whichever tyres they wished at the re-start, 25 minutes after the accident that caused it. The majority of the drivers chose to go with a used set of supersofts, with Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen the highest-placed driver to re-start on the soft tyre, from fifth place. The Finn was forced into a final pit stop for the supersoft following a collision, passing six cars in the final five laps to score a point.

Force India's Paul di Resta, who started from 17th, planned a two-stop strategy. He changed from the supersoft to the soft tyre on lap nine, climbing to 11th place by the red flag. This effectively allowed him a ‘free' pit stop and he eventually ended the race in a points-scoring ninth.

Paul Hembery: Once again, we saw a Monaco Grand Prix where safety cars and a red flag played a prominent role. This had a defining effect on strategy, effectively meaning that all the careful pre-race planning went out of the window. Nonetheless, we experienced the expected low levels of tyre wear and degradation: in fact the race leader went one lap longer this year during his first stint on the supersoft compared to last year, even though the compounds are generally softer. After the race was stopped, most drivers chose to re-start on used supersofts, having to make them last for 32 laps for the finish – although they were certainly helped by a second safety car period. Congratulations to Nico Rosberg and Mercedes, who dominated every session and led an action-packed grand prix from start to finish. We also saw some great performances lower down the field from drivers who used their tyres and strategy to very good effect, despite the extremely unpredictable race circumstances.
