Charles Leclerc to Sky
"I was on hard tyres and everyone around me was on softs.
"I gave it my absolute best but it wasn't enough.
"Mattia Binotto wanted to cheer me up.
"We will have to look at the bigger picture. I only have the picture of my race. From my side, I feel like I lost too much time in the first stint. This is only my view - it may change when I see the full picture.
"I don't want the focus to be on my disappointing race. I want it to be on Carlos' race.
"It is great for the team, great for Carlos, I am very happy for him. But very disappointed for me."

Lewis Hamilton to Sky
"I gave it everything. I tried to chase down those Ferraris but they were too quick.
"I was in the battle with Checo but those guys are too quick on the straights.
"I am so grateful for the hard work that they team did, to get an upgrade. We took a step closer.
"We lost time in the pitstop. I was chasing, chasing, chasing.
"We have improvements to make. This is a huge bonus to be on the podium.
"I'm glad everyone is safe from the crash at the beginning."
