Alan Permane: "It was quite a race for us today and, honestly, we were fortunate to come away with the result we have.

"We were able to capitalise on the opportunities that presented themselves throughout the race, and to come away with six points for the team is a really positive outcome from a challenging weekend. We've had a tougher-than-usual weekend in terms of performance, but the cars certainly performed better today than they have done across the rest of the weekend. That gives us another set of data to analyse and learn from as we look to understand where we can improve. I'm looking forward to returning to Malaysia next week. It's a physically demanding race for the drivers, particularly with the high temperatures and humidity, so preparation will be key. We'll take the learnings from this weekend with us and focus on arriving in Malaysia in the best possible shape to put together a strong performance."

Arvid Lindblad: "First of all, I want to apologise to Liam and the team for the incident at Turn 1 after the restart. It was chaotic as the field bunched up and we were all pushing the limits, so I think everyone ended up braking a little too late. I was ready to make a move on Esteban, but he moved at the last moment and I just didn't have anywhere else to go.
Aside from that, it was a good race for us. It's been a difficult weekend for us, so to come away with points is certainly a positive. A huge credit to the entire team for all the work they put in throughout; we executed the race well, and it was good fun battling with the two Haas towards the end. Now we're looking forward to getting back out there in the next couple of weeks, with Malaysia and Singapore coming up."

Liam Lawson: "Not the greatest race for me today, but I'm pleased the team could come away with some valuable points and recover some ground in the Championship fight with Alpine. We've struggled with pace all weekend, so that's something we'll work on over the rest of the triple-header. We got caught up in a crash at Turn 1 during the restart, which caused some damage to the car and meant we couldn't push forward as much as we would have liked. We'll take what we can from today and be back next week, ready to fight again."
