Pierre Gasly: “It was quite a frustrating race in the end, even if our start was very good and just what we needed after starting from P11. We managed to get up to P9, then had to avoid Max [Verstappen] at the final corner. After the second restart, following the red flag, again, we did quite well to hold onto P8 and from there it became quite tough and frantic. Clearly Racing Bulls are our direct rivals and they had a plan to maximise their race and impact ours. That was to be expected but it was an annoying one behind the wheel! It is a long season, I'll remember it, and the fight in the Championship is definitely on. I'm glad we had upgrades this weekend which has put us in a much more competitive position and that is reflected in the points we have been able to score. We have a lot to assess from the weekend but I am already looking forward to Monza and continuing the on-track battle.”

Franco Colapinto: “A challenging race for us today, which was made even more difficult after the drive through penalty we received for the incident on the opening lap. I had a very strong start, overtook four cars, and was up into the points. From then on it was looking like it would be a good race for us, but after the penalty our day was compromised. I find it harsh and it is one we will review and try to learn and understand further. After that, as I said, our race was not easy. We struggled for tyre grip, and this held back our pace afterwards as we tried to come back, finishing in P14, where I started. It is positive that Pierre finished in P10 and was able to score a point with the upgraded package. I will have the same upgrades at the next round in Monza and I'm looking forward to racing with it and really being in contention for scoring points.”

Flavio Briatore: “We leave Zandvoort a little frustrated even if we gained two points on our direct rivals in the Championship with Pierre scoring a point yesterday in the Sprint and today in the Grand Prix. We brought upgrades to this race, which have clearly made an impact, but it is obvious we need to learn more about them and keep adding more performance in order to increase the gap in the Constructors' as the Racing Bulls remain competitive and, today, Audi was exceptionally fast. Franco's race was very much over from the start after a severe, and harsh, drive through penalty. While we know it's disappointing for him, we acknowledge that these rules are in place for safety and it is something we must learn from. Far from a perfect race weekend for us, but we head to Monza ready to continue the fight.”
