DAVID COULTHARD, (Finish Position 11th, Start Position: 10th)"It was very inconsistent between sets of tyres out on track, so it was difficult to judge our out and out performance. Other than that, there wasn't too much to report from this race."

MARK WEBBER, (Finish Position 9th, Start Position: 9th)"Regarding the strategy, we thought that if we could get some clear air between lap 20-something through  to  30,  we'd  switch  to  a  three-stop  strategy,  but  it  wasn't  enough  for  us  to  get  a  point today. The car balance improved as the race went on, and I had slightly better pace in the last two stints, but I don't think there was much more we could have done today. I was happy with how I drove, we gave everything. It's good now for everyone to have a break and re-group so we can finish the last six races as strong as we can be."

CHRISTIAN  HORNER:  "It  was  a  frustrating  race,  as  we  were  lacking  a  little  bit  of  pace.  With Mark we opted to run a three-stop strategy, which was the quickest way for him to complete the race, but we just missed out on a point. With David, we rolled the dice when we saw Davidson's car  beached  in  a  precarious  position  on  the  circuit,  as  we  thought  the  safety  car  could  be deployed. David was out of the points, so we gambled on his position, bought him into the pits  and fuelled him to the finish. Unfortunately it didn't work out, but it was worth a try. On a positive note, we got two more finishes today and had 100 per cent reliability all weekend."

FABRICE  LOM,  Renault  Principal  Engineer,  Track  Support:  "On  one  hand,  this  is  a  good result,  as  both  cars  raced  reliably,  which  has  not  always  been  the  case  this  year.  So,  from  a technical point of view this was a good day, but in mathematical terms it was not so good with a Toyota in sixth and a Williams in seventh, as we lose points to our main rivals. Therefore, we now have to look at improving performance while maintaining our reliability."
