Toto Wolff I'm really happy, this was another fantastic performance from the entire team. We didn't make any major mistakes today and that's what has won us this race; our car was quick, the strategy calls were right, the pit stops were executed flawlessly and the drivers didn't put a foot wrong. We let the two drivers race today; we told them to take it easy at the beginning of the second stint because we didn't know how long the tyre would last, but both at the start of the race and in the end they were free to fight each other. Both of them perform really well under pressure and neither of them made any mistakes today, so it was a calculated risk but it was good to see them race each other in a clean, respectful manner. I'm very pleased with the result and happy that Valtteri found some redemption after his bad luck here in Baku last year. James Allison It wasn't the crazy bumper-car rally that Baku can sometimes be, but for us it was a stressful, thrilling pleasure to manage a race on a tricky track with our drivers fighting tooth and nail at the start and then getting very close to one another again at the end. To manage a race like that, to finish first and second again and keep the momentum of our championship rolling – it's been a dream start to the year and we couldn't be happier. We just need to make sure we can make it all happen again in two weeks from now in Barcelona where we saw the Ferraris were very fast in winter testing.
