ESPN rounds up all the response from up and down the Spielberg paddock following the 2017 Austrian Grand Prix

Mercedes

Valtteri Bottas (1st): “That champagne tasted superior! The very first gain is of course exclusive, but this is only my second gain, so it is really a excellent feeling to get it. It’s been my most effective weekend still with the pole and the gain and I hope we can continue from listed here. The get started was certainly fantastic – absolutely my most effective get started at any time. And you saw how near it was with Sebastian at the conclusion, so currently I desired it. The car was so superior this weekend, so I knew we could continue to do it. I bought a significant blister on the rear-remaining in the second stint immediately after just 5 laps, which created the car challenging to push. I was dropping additional and additional functionality, but it wasn’t my very first time getting to keep Sebastian at the rear of me. I stored my aim and managed to complete the race without having any errors. It would have been challenging to keep Sebastian at the rear of for substantially more time, so it was superior to see the chequered flag. I am continue to in the title battle and I am only going to get far better. We’re increasing all the time.”

Lewis Hamilton (4th): ”It’s been a complicated weekend, but I can consider heart that I restricted the damage to Sebastian in the factors and that I went ahead through the industry. The car was excellent currently, I could press the entire race on the tyres and I gave it certainly all the things out there. I actually never believe there was substantially remaining in the car at the conclusion of the race, but I was in all probability a bit way too sort in my battle with Daniel – and remaining him way too substantially house. I won’t do that again. We’ve slipped further at the rear of Sebastian again, but there is a prolonged way to go. I’ll keep battling and I’ll never ever give up. Valtteri did a excellent job all weekend and totally justifies the gain. He is just fifteen factors at the rear of me now and he is really substantially in this title battle. I am actually searching ahead to Silverstone – I’ve bought a couple times to put this weekend at the rear of me. I can not wait to see the house crowd again and get started with a clear slate. I hope I can use Silverstone as a springboard for the second half of my year.”

James Allison, Complex Director: ”It was a brilliant day for Valtteri whose tempo in the very first stint was certainly mighty. The second half of his race was hampered by a blister but he drove with excellent poise to score his second gain. Lewis came achingly near to the podium in the closing laps, in all probability half a car size away from passing Ricciardo. We are sorry about the gearbox penalty he endured but he tackled the situation as he generally does: he bought his head down and created the most of it. This was a superior race for our Constructors’ Championship placement, extending our slender edge above Ferrari, but we will need to make certain we give Lewis the equipment he requires at the up coming races to make certain he won’t get started Sunday afternoon on the back again foot.”

Daniel Ricciardo (third): “I do really like a battle and Lewis came out of nowhere in the final couple laps. It felt like the gap was secure and then within just a handful of laps he was catching me rather swiftly. I then experienced two laps to go and experienced to defend which created it a rather remarkable race for me. To have superior velocity all over listed here in dry conditions was a pleasurable surprise for us. I experienced Seb in front of me rather substantially for the complete race and I know that his prolonged operates on Friday seemed really a large amount a lot quicker than ours so we failed to actually assume to have a related race tempo to him or Mercedes currently. Just to keep Lewis off, have a battle, defend and arrive out in front was awesome. An additional podium is rather sweet. I loved it up there. Silverstone is going to be excellent with these 2017 vehicles so I am searching ahead to that and I am certain we’ll have a large amount of Poms out there up coming weekend.”

Max Verstappen (DNF): “We experienced a clutch difficulty at the get started of the race. I could experience on the formation lap that it wasn’t excellent and then at the get started it unsuccessful which activated the anti-stall as I attempted to start. I pulled away immediately after dropping quite a few positions and attempted to keep out of hassle in to change a single but I bought strike on the rear tyre. Because of the strike the clutch above engaged, braking the bearing in the clutch, so I experienced no push. The boys are all performing really tricky and there is no blame on everyone, we have just experienced a large amount of undesirable luck just lately and I have to try and keep constructive. It’s absolutely not pleasant at the instant and I am really disappointed again but it is really also really significant to keep pushing everyone ahead as there are continue to quite a few races to go. We just hope that the up coming race will be far better. I also experience disappointed for all the Dutch supporters as they have travelled a prolonged way. I needed to put on a show for them but I could not even entire a single corner currently. We will of class try to do far better at Silverstone.”

Christian Horner, Workforce Principal: “A wonderful race from Daniel immediately after building a superior get started, together with a superior passing transfer on the rapidly beginning Haas of Romain Grosjean. He then drove a really disciplined race continually and competitively. He came underneath serious problem from Lewis in the closing laps but defended firmly and pretty and it was excellent to see him on the podium at our house grand prix, for his fifth consecutive podium. Max’s car unfortunately went into anti-stall on the grid which brought on a gradual getaway. He was out of positon and then bought collected immediately after an incident between Daniil Kvyat and Fernando Alonso which turned him round at the very first corner and thereafter experienced an difficulty which seems to be like the clutch. We will have to get the car back again to understand if it was a consequence of the incident or what transpired off the get started line. It’s been excellent to see this kind of a strong crowd at the Purple Bull Ring supporting the Austrian Grand Prix, it seems to be like it is really been a actually pleasant weekend for all of the supporters.”

Ferrari

Sebastian Vettel (2nd): “Today I struggled in the very first stint with the very first set of tires, the Ultrasofts. I believe they were being just obtaining way too scorching. Then the clouds came in and the balance of the car improved. That is why I believe we were being beginning to get a lot quicker. It was a shame that we couldn’t gain, simply because we were being near. We learnt additional about the car in these times and there are quite a few constructive facets relating to this race, but I experience like I could have won currently and I failed to, so I am not totally pleased. At the starting of the race I was just not quick adequate. The tempo was there, but the balance wasn’t. I like this position, which has a large amount of heritage and it is really the position where by I drove a racing car for the very first time, in 2003. It’s a prolonged time ago, but I continue to have beautiful reminiscences. And now I am already searching ahead to going to Silverstone.’

Kimi Raikkonen (5th): “In the very first portion of the race we experienced some issues with the balance of the car. I struggled a minimal bit with the very first set of tires at the starting, but then it was obtaining far better and far better. The second set was high-quality: at the starting of the final stint the car felt really superior and we experienced superior velocity, but at that position we were being way too much at the rear of to try to recuperate. As the tires were being obtaining more mature we of course started off to go slower, but we were being continue to doing superior lap moments and the balance was bettering. Total, however, it was not a really simple weekend.”

Sergio Perez (seventh): “Ending seventh is a excellent consequence for the staff and a pleasant reward thinking about how complicated this weekend has been for us. We struggled in exercise, but arrive qualifying and the race we were being really strong and we came house with some superior factors. It wasn’t the least difficult of races for me. I created a superior get started, but I dropped areas to both Esteban and Lewis [Hamilton] at change a single. Thankfully I was in a position to move them both at change 3 and regain my beginning placement. I endured from a large amount of front graining in my very first stint, but immediately after the pit halt I was in a position to settle down into a rhythm, even however it wasn’t adequate to attack Grosjean. We experienced really related tempo to him so we couldn’t get any closer. It has been a complicated weekend, but we recovered properly and we can be pleased with the consequence. Now our aim shifts to Silverstone. I actually can not wait to try these 2017 vehicles on the speediest observe on the calendar.”

Esteban Ocon (eighth): “I am happy with the factors we have scored currently and it was a strong race for the staff. I created a superior get started and received a few of positions, but I was at the rear of Lewis [Hamilton] going into change 3 and bought squeezed, which intended I experienced to relieve off and dropped momentum. Then it was just a situation of trying to keep my head down and remaining regular with my laptimes. I never believe we went the correct way with the method simply because I dropped a large amount of time to Massa immediately after my halt and we just will need to assessment matters and see if we could have carried out anything at all in a different way. It’s not been the least difficult of weekends for us, but we have worked tricky and it is really enjoyable to arrive away with superior factors even when matters are not going correctly. I believe we showed our energy as a staff.”

Robert Fernley, Deputy Workforce Principal: “An additional double factors complete is just what we desired currently. The staff did an excellent job to convert our strong qualifying into solid factors and we leave Austria feeling rather content with our functionality. It was a fairly serene race from the pit wall with no substantial dramas. Each motorists stored out of hassle on lap a single and as the race settled down we were being in a position to keep station with aggressive race tempo. These ten factors consolidate our fourth position in the championship as we tactic the midway position of the year.”

Felipe Massa (ninth): “For certain you can not celebrate a ninth placement but beginning 17th it was a wonderful race for me. I experienced a actually superior get started, obtaining through the concerns that were being taking place in corner a single, and overtaking vehicles. It was a wonderful very first lap as the tempo was excellent, in contrast to qualifying, which is some thing we will need to perform to understand so that we never repeat beginning out of placement like currently. At the conclusion of the race it was a bit disappointing not to be in a position to move Ocon, but I was just dropping a large amount of grip in the superior-velocity corners at the rear of him, and he experienced superior velocity on the straight so it was really complicated. I am so pleased with my race and it is really superior to have both vehicles in the factors.”

Lance Stroll (10th): ”It goes to show anything at all can come about in a race and it is not above on a Saturday. I am feeling really constructive as I started off 18th, completed 10th and picked up another position. It wasn’t an simple race, even though the get started was superior and we managed to obtain some areas. I knew immediately after the get started we were being in a superior placement, so it was just a matter of keeping focussed, not building any errors and saving the brakes and tyres in the direction of the conclusion of the race. First, there was Magnussen placing force on me and then at the conclusion Palmer, but I just desired to defend as I know all over listed here it is really complicated to overtake. We just will need to determine out what transpired to us this weekend in qualifying and try to heal it for the up coming race. The up coming race is Silverstone, the house race for the staff, so I am actually searching ahead to it.”

Paddy Lowe, Main Complex Officer: “A double-factors complete is a excellent accomplishment for us currently. Congratulations to Felipe and Lance for making that consequence, in particular provided the point that they started off in 17th and 18th. It was a rather eventful opening lap, which put us promptly into 10th and 11th. From there, we managed to choose up additional areas in overtakes and transfer up to ninth and 10th. Our method was to run for more time on the more challenging tyres and then complete with a shorter stint on the ultrasoft, which intended we were being in a position to attack Esteban Ocon at the conclusion, but we were being unfortunately unable to make the placement. Equally, Lance defended actually properly in opposition to Magnussen and Palmer to consider his 3rd factors complete in a row. So total, we unquestionably ended the weekend on a substantially far better notice than it felt like we would yesterday.”

Fernando Alonso (DNF): “We experienced a superior get started again, I was in a position to benefit from Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen’s poor getaways, so I was already up to 10th when we arrived at the very first corner. But the men at the rear of me arrived at the change way too immediately, failed to brake adequate and destroyed my race. I was hoping for a superior race but we were being just unfortunate – matters were being out of my fingers I was just a passenger. We know it is really generally challenging to get started from the center of the pack, but it is really just not vital to obtain an excess meter at the very first corner. In some cases, the men at the rear of risk matters a bit way too substantially.”

Stoffel Vandoorne (thirteenth): “I am really a minimal bit disappointed with twelfth – if you seem at the tempo we experienced throughout the race, I believe factors just may possibly have been achievable currently. And that’s really encouraging. Our weekend has frequently been really constructive – we experienced no troubles, our tempo has been affordable, and I felt really relaxed with the car. Unfortunately, I was trapped at the rear of some vehicles and it was not possible to overtake – but that’s how it is for us at the instant. I bought a penalty, but we experienced to try some thing, and I never believe I actually dropped a large amount in conditions of the total consequence. It’s a shame we failed to score factors currently, but our tempo all weekend has been a constructive for the complete staff.”

Eric Boullier, McLaren-Honda Racing Director: “There are generally highs and lows in motor racing. Let us get started by searching at the positives: Stoffel showed really solid tempo all weekend, and he and his staff seemed to have created demonstrable development in each individual session. His race was solid, even though he couldn’t actually show the car’s genuine likely immediately after paying out the entire race jogging in filthy air. We will consider his push-through penalty on the chin – he was pushing at the time to try and have a go at [Jolyon] Palmer, and it was just an unlucky consequence of that. In conditions of the negatives, Fernando’s race was a single to neglect – albeit through no fault of his have. We settle for that racing is racing, but these kinds of foolish incidents are not actually satisfactory at this level. To be strolling away with a substantially destroyed car immediately after just a single lap is a bitter tablet for us to swallow. Let us at last seem to the positives again: we are set for an incredible 7 days in the United kingdom as we head to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix.”

Yusuke Hasegawa, Honda R&D Co. Ltd Head of F1 Venture & Executive Main Engineer: “Following a constructive get started to our Austrian grand prix weekend, I am really disappointed with the consequence of the race currently. Despite getting some concerns, the environment within just the staff has been substantially additional constructive this weekend, and we felt we were being in a strong placement to score factors. Each motorists qualified properly and were being beginning the race from aggressive positions, and we were being pleased with our set-up. Fernando experienced an incredible get started and created up a selection of positions off the line, but was forced into an early retirement immediately after remaining caught up in an incident at Change A single. I believe Stoffel experienced the tempo to score his very first factors of the year currently and seemed relaxed in the car, but he fought with traffic for most of the afternoon and was unable to obtain positions. We will before long be heading back again to the United kingdom for our very first house grand prix of the year. It’s a single of the highlights of the yr, and we are searching ahead to this exclusive weekend. We assume to have quite a few supporters, colleagues and family members there, so we hope that we can show them a superior race.”

Toro Rosso

Daniil Kvyat (sixteenth): “Not the race we hoped for. With regards to the get started, it was a superior a single, even if I experienced to out of the blue go all over my teammate. I then couldn’t see way too substantially of what was taking place in front of me I believe Verstappen experienced a issue way too, so Alonso reacted to that – he saw it, I failed to, so he took a move back again whilst, on the other hand, I dropped all my references. I attempted to do my most effective but ended up colliding, unfortunately. It’s upsetting for me and for the other folks for certain, but these matters come about to all motorists. Now I just will need a cold shower right before Silverstone, have a seem into it, accurate what requires to be corrected and transfer on.”

Carlos Sainz (DNF): “What a massive shame! We experienced an difficulty with the engine from the instant the race started off – I felt it misfiring during the complete of the very first ten laps, which intended I dropped from ninth to sixteenth. We attempted all the things in purchase to get it performing and for fifteen laps I was enjoying with the switches hoping to make the car perform. In the conclusion this unfortunately failed to come about, even however we managed to recuperate a bit of tempo, and as the concerns persisted in the conclusion we experienced to retire the car. It’s disappointing and unquestionably not what we desired, in particular simply because factors seemed achievable currently. All in all, a complicated conclusion to what I’d explain as a superior weekend – qualifying yesterday was superior and I was jogging in the factors right before the issue started off, so there are some positives to consider. I now seem ahead to up coming week’s British GP at Silverstone, a single of my favorite tracks and a Grand Prix we can sort of take into account my ‘second house race’ as I are living in London when I am not in Madrid!”

Haas

Kevin Magnussen (DNF): “It’s rather tricky when these matters come about. You are in a superior placement, the car’s performing actually properly, and it was our strongest weekend with the most likely for a superior consequence for both vehicles. I could conveniently have been up there with Romain and we could’ve experienced a fantastic consequence for the staff. It’s just been actually poor luck this weekend. I am hoping that we can keep our variety up and have other races like this where by we can have top rated results – like we ought to have experienced currently. There is only a couple times to wait then we are at it again, so I am actually hoping we can do properly again.”

Romain Grosjean (6th): “It was a actually strong race. I experienced a actually superior very first lap and was making the most of the racing for a minimal bit. Lewis (Hamilton) and Kimi (Räikkönen) bought earlier, but I centered on trying to keep Sergio (Perez) at the rear of. We pushed tricky all the way and that’s the racing we like. It was a excellent race and a excellent job by all the men. I was pleased with the car all weekend prolonged. There are a couple matters we will need to enhance, but currently we were being the most effective of the rest. We showed that when we get all the things to perform on the car we are strong. It’s the encounter of obtaining all the things performing in the window all the time that we are lacking a minimal bit. This was only our thirtieth race at any time, so we can not have all the things. I am searching ahead to the up coming race. Silverstone’s going to be pleasurable.”

Guenther Steiner, Workforce Principal: “Highs and lows. The superior issue listed here was that we showed the tempo of the car and we experienced a superior race. Unfortunately, Kevin experienced a hydraulic issue. We will need to seem into what it was, but he was racing tricky. Again, we were being up for getting two vehicles in the factors, but we’ll get there. Amazing from Romain – he drove a serene, solid race and it was our most effective consequence of the yr. We will have some lows immediately after this, but we’ll enjoy what we have bought and keep on digging for additional factors.”

Renault

Nico Hulkenberg (thirteenth): “It was a complicated race for me. I experienced a horrible get started I activated the anti-stall mode where by the clutch kicks in to shield a stall from the engine, simply because grip on the grid is really superior listed here. That was the starting of the conclusion for me. I was virtually final right before the very first corner and from then onwards it was distinct that it was going to be a complicated afternoon. We were being having difficulties on the Supersoft tyres with overheating as properly as with balance and grip. We determined to do an early very first halt, placing on the Softs, but then the leaders were being coming through and I experienced blue flags 2 times, dropping enormous quantities of time. It was rather complicated currently we will need to assessment what transpired and absolutely aim on Silverstone.”

Jolyon Palmer (sixteenth): “We started off in P16 and completed eleventh, it is really my 3rd race with an eleventh position complete, the moment additional within just touching distance of factors! I experienced Lance Stroll in my way for just above forty laps and couldn’t get earlier him, which is irritating. I will need to aim on qualifying far better, but throughout the weekend the tempo appeared improved so total there are some positives. It’s my house race coming up, and Silverstone’s a excellent observe with a large amount of rapidly corners and it is really a single I actually like to push, so hopefully that can be the a single that will get me in the factors.”

Sauber

Pascal Wehrlein (14th): “I started off the race from the pit lane because of to an engine change. Throughout my very first lap I picked up a piece of debris right before reaching change four. I was slightly worried about the affliction of the car, but fortunately it turned out to be alright. I pushed tricky all the way from the starting to the conclusion of the race, but this consequence was the greatest for currently. I hope we are additional aggressive in Silverstone.”

Marcus Ericsson (15th): “It was a complicated race for me. At the starting I experienced concerns with obtaining the tyres to perform effectively, so I dropped ground. Total I was having difficulties to keep up the tempo, even though some pieces of the race were being alright. Later on, the blue flags created it challenging to keep the tyres in the correct performing window. We have to aim on the up coming race in Silverstone, which is only a 7 days away. It is a single of my favourite tracks, so I hope that we can have a stronger race weekend there.”

Pirelli

Mario Isola, Head of Auto Racing: “”With some really rapidly normal speeds and no rain, there was a bit of blistering but this did not impact functionality – with the speediest laps remaining set at the conclusion of the race. Although a single halt was the standard choice, there were being quite a few different variants on the a single-halt method, with a couple motorists hoping some thing different to make up areas. On the complete, the method solutions were being really intense throughout the industry, with some prolonged operates even on the ultrasoft. This underlines the confidence that the teams have both in the velocity and sturdiness of the tyre assortment.”
