Europe Sunday quotes: Williams
Pastor Maldonado - 10th: It was an unlucky race for us as we were looking strong for a podium finish. We were struggling at the beginning of the race but at the end I passed Lewis (Hamilton) and then he came back across. I jumped across the kerb but there was nothing I could do and we made contact. I was on a great lap after a great race. The car was feeling good and we had good pace
Bruno Senna - 11th: I feel quite disappointed with today as we had good pace and the right strategy. It would have been difficult but it was working for us. However, after losing time with the puncture and then receiving the drive-through penalty it would have been difficult to get into the points even in a race like today. We got lucky with the timing of the safety car but on a positive note we had good tyre management and so we were looking competitive. Now we need to put it behind us and see it as a lesson learned.
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: It was a very eventful race from which we should have secured a decent haul of points, so it is clearly disappointing to come away with a single point. As a team we will thoroughly review the weekend, regroup and aim to come back stronger at Silverstone.
Laurent Debout, Renault Sport F1 team support leader: It's a real shame to lose a potential podium in the final laps like that. Tenth position doesn't really do justice to the performance of the car all weekend - Pastor's third position on the grid shows what we were capable of.
