"This is an incredible result from the entire team and we must enjoy this moment. I am very proud of the job everybody has done. We did not have the best start, but the race pace was strong." Fernando took the 99th podium of his illustrious F1 career, and his ceaseless combativity thrilled fans as he battled his way to third place.

"It was a fun race and I am super pleased to score good points tonight. It was not the most comfortable race for me, because of the injuries I have been dealing with, but to finish sixth has made it worth enduring all that pain." Lance had to push through the pain during the Grand Prix, and put in a determined drive to secure sixth place.
