Malaysia Sunday quotes: Toro Rosso

Daniel Ricciardo - 12th: "Unfortunately, after being delayed in the early stages - when I lost places after the start in the rain - I never managed to fight my way back into the points. I think there were moments in the race when I ran at quite a good pace, but I did not have that extra edge to move up the order. When the track was drying before the pitstops, that's when I again lost time, so of course I am a bit disappointed, but there are still 18 races remaining and I'm sure I will have plenty more opportunities to do well."

Franz Tost, team principal: "In Melbourne we scored points with Daniel and now in Sepang, it was the turn of our rookie driver, Jean-Eric, to secure his first Formula 1 points with a strong drive to eighth place. As is often the case in Malaysia, we witnessed a very exciting race in which Jean-Eric did an excellent job as it was the first time he has raced a Formula 1 car in wet conditions. He made no mistakes and produced really good lap times and so this eighth place is well-deserved. These four points are also the result of excellent work from the team, making the correct decisions as regards pitstops and tyre strategy as well as managing the complicated situation while the race was suspended. Daniel lost too much time in the early stages of the race to fight back into the points, but his laptimes in the later part were very good. The STR7 performed quite well this afternoon in both the wet and the dry and finally congratulations to our engine partner Ferrari for this important win."
