Fernando Alonso: "It was a difficult race without much happening and we simply didn't have the pace.
"At the start, I reacted to Oscar's movement and unfortunately got the penalty. I don't think this impacted our race in the end, because we just didn't have the performance. Hopefully our car will suit Singapore better and we can fight for the points again."
Lance Stroll: "We stayed out for a longer stint on the Mediums hoping to take advantage of a Safety Car that never came, which limited our opportunities and what we could do. We will look ahead to Singapore now where we hope to be more competitive and have a stronger race weekend."
Mike Krack, Chief Trackside Officer: "There were very few opportunities in the race and points were out of reach today. The majority of cars stopped only once - as we did - with the Medium tyres performing especially well with low degradation. That limited the strategy options and made for quite a straightforward race. Both drivers pushed hard, but ultimately we were missing outright pace. We will head back to Silverstone, regroup, and come back stronger in Singapore."
