Brazil Sunday quotes: Renault

Nelson Piquet - DNF: "I don't really know what happened: if I was touched or if I simply lost control of the car, but I couldn't see that much and I lost the rear of my car in turn 3. It's really frustrating not to complete my home Grand Prix because a lot of things happened in the race and we could probably have taken advantage of them. But we should not look back and I want to thank the team for their support this weekend."

Flavio Briatore, Managing Director ING Renault F1 Team: "It's a super result and a great way to end the season so a big thanks for the whole team. Our second half of the year has been superb and in the last eight races Fernando has scored the most points of anyone. It was important to show to Renault that we could fight back and I'm proud of the efforts of the team this year. Congratulations also to Fernando and Nelson for the job they have done this season."

Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "What a fantastic way to finish the season, not just for the team but for Formula 1. Our result today reinforces the fabulous job our staff have done over the year. We now really look forward Australia 2009. Congratulations to Ferrari and Lewis."
