Japan Sunday quotes: Toro Rosso

"I also had some graining on the tyres at the beginning, which caused me to spin. After that, I was struggling a bit with set up, but as we were far away from getting any points, it did not make much difference." (Pos. 14th)

Scott Speed - DNF: "I've had great starts all season and this was another really good one. I was battling around the outside of Tonio but I didn't want to crash into my teammate, so I gave up fighting for that particular position. I had a strong first stint managing to keep David behind me, but we lost out to them in the pit stops when they came in ahead of us.

"Then I had a spin because I was pushing probably a bit too hard trying to pass Doornbos. I turned in a bit early and clipped the inside kerb which is hard to see at that corner. I was over aggressive. I pulled into the pits at the end with a power steering failure."

Gerhard Berger: "Unfortunately both our drivers had a spin each! I was expecting a bit more as, after qualifying, there was hope we could do something good. But as is often the case, things turned out differently in the race."
