Malaysia Sunday quotes: HRT

Narain Karthikeyan: "It was a very interesting race in really wet conditions. We were running in 10th at one point, which I think is the best position we've ever been in but unfortunately the rain stopped and the track dried out and it was impossible to keep ahead of the rest. I made a mistake, locking up the front, and went off on turn 9 but apart from that it all went pretty well. We finished the race, did some mileage and made up two positions from 23rd so that's something to smile about. Everyone did a great job and we're all really happy with the result, now we have to go on from here and try to progress in China."

Luis Pérez-Sala, Team Principal: "Yesterday after qualifying we were satisfied and today, thankfully, we are again. We met another target which was to finish the race with both cars. There are aspects that need improving, without a doubt, such as reliability and the speed of the car, but by completing the race we have accumulated a lot of data which will be of great use to continue progressing. We also need to improve pit stops and team coordination but it was the first time they did it and from the first stop to the second you could already tell the difference. Today I want to highlight the work everyone did and thank them for their effort these past weeks and today's result is a small reward for that enormous amount of work that is taking place."
