Italy Sunday quotes: Force India

Tonio Liuzzi - 12th: It was definitely a nice race to drive but from 19th position it was always going to be difficult to score points, particularly as there weren't any safety cars. We had some good fights and in the end we finished in 12th position. We had a good car and I think we were quick enough to finish in the points today but when you are behind someone who is not that much slower than you it's quite difficult to get past. I was pushing hard to pass Buemi and Rubens [Barrichello] but we were more or less at the same pace. Overall though we had a strong pace and it was a shame to just miss out on the points.

Dr Vijay Mallya, chairman and team principal: Although we're disappointed not to have scored points today we've got to look forward. The car was competitive enough to finish in the points today, with a good overall pace, which is what we have to focus on in the coming races. Both drivers were unlucky: Tonio's qualifying issues made it difficult to score points and then with his problems on the first lap Adrian found himself too far down the field to be able to make in roads to the top 10. It's a shame but we'll pick ourselves up and take the challenge back in Singapore.
