'It's great to have a first podium and to fight for a win with my new team already when we are only three races in. We've still got some work to do because that should have been our win today but we're still a new team and we've still got some things to get on top of. We made a mistake with the energy today and I thought we were good to go, so I overtook for the lead of the race but had to slow down pretty quickly after to manage the temperature. In the end, it's better to finish second and get the points than then not finishing the race at all.' Jean-Éric Vergne, DNF: 'Today I'm disappointed to not have won the race as I was in a position to do so. In the first three laps it's always a bit of a bunch up of the cars and I damaged my front wing, and towards the end of the race it eventually broke when I was running in 3rd so I had to retire the car. We had great pace and good energy, so I had a good shot at winning today. Nevertheless, I'm very proud of my team because we were really quick today and I think that's a positive to take with us. Only three races and four points but I have an amazing team around me, and the motivation is very high. The spirit of the race today is the spirit we're going to have for the season, full attack.'
