Antonio Felix Da Costa - DS Techeetah

"Coming here with six races to go, the fight for the title is on and the pressure is rising. I do really want to win and if we keep doing things as we did today, we have a good shot at it. Hats off to the team not only for what they did today, but for the hard work they put into the build-up to this moment. I moved here because I wanted a quicker car, since I want to put myself in a position to win races."

 

Andre Lotterer - TAG Heuer Porsche

"Second place is a good starting point. But I have some mixed feelings about missing the first ATTACK MODE activation, as it put me in a difficult position. I had a good car and maybe without that slip I could’ve challenged Antonio for the win. We’ll keep working hard and hopefully the car will continue to be as good as it was today."

 

Sam Bird - Envision Virgin Racing

"I’m very pleased with the team and the result. It’s been a bit of a rocky year for us and hopefully today will mark a restart of the season. Also, I’m a bit disappointed for not finishing in second, but I was low on energy in the last couple of laps. There’s still some work to do on the car, but we have a good base ready for tomorrow."
