Spain Sunday quotes: Spyker

Adrian Sutil - 13th: "It was a good race for me. It was important that we finished. I did very consistent lap times compared to the other teams in front of us, which shows we can now follow cars in front and put them under some pressure - this can only be good for future races

"The first pit stop was OK, but in the second the engine stalled. I only lost three or four seconds but it was enough to lose the place, but I'm pleased with the performance and looking forward to Monaco, where I've also raced before."

Christijan Albers - 14th: "Once more we've got to be pleased we got two cars to the finish, but we've got to now focus on really getting up there with the other teams. The beginning of the race was good, I could keep up with others, but it was disappointing to get the blue flag penalty and then have the stall in the second pit stop.

"I think we're moving forward though and with the test next week in Paul Ricard, we can hope for a better result out in Monaco."

Mike Gascoyne, chief technical officer: "Again it was a step forward for us in getting both cars home. It was a relatively trouble-free race, although stalls for both drivers in the second pitstops and Christijan's drivet-hrough penalty cost us a little bit of time and, for Adrian, also lost us a position to Button.

"Our pace was however more competitive than in previous races and we had good reliability, so now we have to concentrate on bettering the overall package and getting new parts on the car that will improve our speed relative to the others."

Colin Kolles, team principal and managing director: "The whole team worked hard and did a great job this weekend. We've moved forward not only in pace, but also in the championship - going up a place is a just reward for all the hard effort for the team."
