We tried our best to try and score a few points, but it was impossible to do any better than we did out there today. Its a pity, because the car felt quite good during our installation laps. But the car didnt work that well on the Option tyre, and we struggled to find enough grip.At Silverstone, I hope we can make a step forward. We brought some upgrades to this race, but didnt really get the running we needed to verify them. Hopefully, theyll work better at Silverstone.JENSON BUTTONMP4-28A-01Started                   14thFinished                 12th

Fastest lap             1m17.458s (+1.276s, 8th)Pitstops                 One: lap 27 (2.29s) [Opt-Pri]Points                     25 (10th)This wasnt the best race for us as a team. Its particularly tough because this circuit is usually very good to us.With hindsight, I think wed have been better off starting on the Prime tyre, rather than the Option. During my first stint, all the two-stoppers pitted ahead of me, then came back to overtake me, so it was a bit tricky.However, we showed today that, irrespective of strategy, we wouldnt have gone any faster.Our car tends to work better on fast and flowing circuitssuch as Malaysia or Chinaso Im looking forward to my home race at Silverstone at the end of the month. We tried some new parts this weekend, but they werent really suited for this type of circuitthey should work better at Silverstone, so Im feeling positive about the future.MARTIN WHITMARSH

Team principal, Vodafone McLaren MercedesThis was a difficult afternoon. Credit goes out to Jenson and Checoboth drivers performed brilliantly, attacking when necessary, and driving with the foresight and caution needed to look after their tyres across long stints. They deserved to score points.Unfortunately, with the benefit of hindsight, we were a touch too conservative with our tyre management this afternoon. The Prime turned out to be a stronger tyre than wed anticipated, and we could have exploited it for longer and further in the race than we did.The data that weve accumulated this weekend will nonetheless provide us with a useful basis from which to move forwards, and weve learned some valuable lessons this weekend.Our focus now turns to our home race at Silverstone. Well be doing our utmost to score a better result for the many British fans wholl be supporting Vodafone McLaren Mercedes on home soil.
