Thierry Salvi, Renault: "Sebastian had fantastic pace today. He controlled the race from the beginning to the end. Mark retired following a water leak about five laps from the end. We tried everything, including short shifting, to get to the end of the race, but we came up just short and the engine overheated within sight of the line. The whole team did a great job this weekend, showing the potential of the Red Bull-Renault chassis/engine package yet again. Apologies to Mark, as he deserved more after such a strong race."

Pat Fry: "This weekend, even if we didn't have the fastest car, we did manage to maximise our performance getting everything possible out of our driver-team package and the result is absolutely positive. With Fernando, the decision to stay out all the way to the end after the Safety Car paid off handsomely. Our competitiveness in the race was better than we had seen in the previous days, but even if we knew that things could change today, we must try to improve, especially in situations where the track characteristics don't suit our car. Fernando pulled off an amazing start, as it's really rare to make up four places at the start here in Singapore. Felipe also got away well, but then, his inside line meant he had to move over to avoid a collision. At Fernando's first stop, we had to cover Webber's early stop: we knew we would have found ourselves in traffic behind Di Resta, but the pit stop window was very limited and we preferred not to take the risk. When the Safety Car came out, we had half a lap to take a decision and, in the end we brought both drivers in, trying different strategies. We tried to play an ace with Fernando and luckily we did not have to go through a repeat of what happened in Canada in 2012. For the final six races, one group of engineers will still concentrate on the F138, because we want to continue to try and improve so that we can be more competitive".

"Our strategy involved an element of risk, but that risk was worth taking. After all, the second-placed and third-placed finishers both ran the same strategy - and, although our cars didn't have sufficient pace to beat them to those podium finishes, our drivers boldly embraced the challenge set by a strategy that required them to attack and defend with an impressive mix of aggression and restraint.

"Checo, in particular, made an extremely good start, moving from his P14 grid slot to P11 on lap one, and thereafter fighting his way through heavy traffic all afternoon to finish eighth at the flag, just behind Jenson in seventh. From here we go to Mokpo, South Korea, where we'll be aiming to score points with both cars once again."

Kimi remains in fourth place in the Drivers' Championship on 149 points - now just 2 points behind Lewis Hamilton with Mark Webber a further 19 points behind - whilst Romain remains eighth on 57 points. The team remains in fourth place in the Constructors' Championship on 206 points from Ferrari's 267 and well ahead of fifth-placed McLaren who have 76 points.

Kimi started from P13 with a set of scrubbed super soft tyres, changing to new super softs on lap 10 and new medium compound tyres on lap 25. Romain started from P3 on a scrubbed set of super soft tyres, changing to a scrubbed set of super softs on lap 15, a new set of mediums tyres on lap 25 and finally stopping for a further set of scrubbed mediums on lap 33 while his engine air tank was refilled. He retired on lap 37 due to lack of engine air pressure.

Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "Once more Kimi drove an exceptionally strong race today - even without considering his back pain - whilst the team did an amazing job with the strategy for both drivers. Were it not for Romain's engine problems we should have had both cars home in third and fourth. It's unfortunate that Romain had the problem with the pneumatic system of his engine as he showed strong pace in the race after putting in superb performances on both Friday and Saturday. This level of downforce suits our car and that's the level we're running for the remaining tracks this season; we will fight for podiums for the rest of the year I'm sure."

Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: "Another day of mixed fortunes and commiserations for Romain who had a superb weekend, stymied by a reliability issue in the race. On the other hand, huge congratulations to Kimi for a typical ‘never-give-up' race carving his way through the field nicely to put the back problems which have affected him all weekend right behind him. Our race strategy worked perfectly today and we were able to jump a number of other cars well."

Ricardo Penteado, Renault Sport F1 Team Support Leader: "The team did a great job with the strategy today; getting Kimi from 13th to 3rd on a track you can't overtake on is a real achievement. Unfortunately Romain retired with an engine pneumatic system problem. Air consumption had been inconsistent throughout the race so we pitted him to top the air back up, however the consumption remained high so we were forced to retire the car on the next lap. We'll look at why it happened as it was a brand new engine and put solutions in place to ensure it does not happen again."

Ross Brawn: That was a frustrating race after the Safety Car came out at what was just the wrong time for us. It was a close decision whether or not to pit the cars in order to try and run over half the race distance on a single set of tyres. Our view was that we couldn't make it, so we left both cars out on track - as did Red Bull - so that we could run a shorter final stint. In the end, we saw that two of the cars who pitted managed to make it work, but most others had to make an additional stop or fell out of the window of tyre performance in the closing laps. The race was further complicated by a front wing problem for Nico, who suffered from rubber build-up at a critical stage of the race, which cost him performance through excessive understeer. Fourth and fifth positions allowed us to minimise the points loss to Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship but our car had the performance potential to score more points today.

Toto Wolff: After starting from second and fifth positions on the grid, we cannot be satisfied to finish fourth and fifth this evening. Two of our rivals managed to complete over half the race distance on a single set of tyres, which was something we did not feel we would manage successfully. Therefore both cars stayed out behind the Safety Car when it was deployed. Congratulations to Sebastian on a well-earned victory: he was in a different league for most of this evening's race.

Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "After a strong performance in Monza we were able to claim points again, which is very pleasing. Nico drove a fantastic race and was rewarded with two points. We find the decision by race director to give the position back to Sergio Perez very harsh. He did not gain an advantage, but merely avoided a collision by leaving the track. However, we have to accept this decision. Esteban had a mixed weekend. Now we have to find out why he wasn't able to clock the expected lap times. We are happy that we were able to perform on a track that usually doesn't suit our car. That shows we are heading in the right direction with the development of the car."

Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "Scoring points again was obviously very good for the team. The timing of the safety car meant it was very difficult to get to the end from there, but we elected to do that with both cars. Nico managed the tyres and the pressure from behind very well. It's a shame he had to give his position up to Sergio Perez because he went off the track. However, this was not to gain a position but to avoid a crash. Esteban lost track positions when the Safety Car came out, and, after that, he suffered some slight tyre degradation. But overall, we take a lot of positives from this weekend to the upcoming races."

Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal and Managing Director: "We come away from Singapore with mixed feelings. The positive is that Adrian picked up the final point and that's a good effort considering where he started the race. On the other hand we missed a golden opportunity to score some big points with Paul, who potentially could have finished in sixth place. His retirement with seven laps to go proved costly and has not helped us in our battle against McLaren. As a team we must focus on the positives of the competitive race pace, good tyre management, and the calls we made with the strategy. Korea in two weeks' time will be a chance to regroup and keep up our fighting spirit."

Laurent Debout, Renault Sport F1 team support leader: The end result flatters us slightly as we were not as competitive as we would have liked. It is disappointing to miss out on the points again but Korea is a very different track and should play to the strengths of the car more. We'll look forward to this race now.

The race started well, with Jules getting past both Caterhams early in lap 1 before eventually ceding position to van der Garde and settling into P20, having started from P21. Pic was sandwiched between the two Marussias for the first stint then disaster struck when Jules was unable to change gear. Having made his first stop he was forced to pit again a lap later to change steering wheels, which thankfully solved the problem.

On lap 25 Jules made his way into the pits again for his second scheduled stop at precisely the time that the Safety Car was deployed after Ricciardo hit the wall at Turn 18. Straight after the call the Team elected to pit Max immediately. They made a further stop each to end the race with Max in 17th position and Jules 18th.

John Booth, Team Principal: "Today's race was a challenging one for the whole Team due to a combination of the intense humidity, an early gear shift problem for Jules and a heavy emphasis on tyre management through the whole race. The Safety Car period benefited us by helping us to overcome the penalty of an extra unscheduled pit stop for Jules and we were able to get back in touch with the rest of the field, which in turn put us back into a good fight with Caterham. They were ahead but the gap was minimal during the second half of the race and at a track like this any opportunity can arise at a moment's notice and this is in fact what happened when Pic had to stop six laps from the end. We have been extremely close to our nearest competitors all weekend, which is a definite improvement on recent races. Another two car finish for the Team and we leave Singapore with our position in the Constructors' Championship still intact, so we will focus on the positives from the weekend."

Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso used a different two-stop strategy to finish second from seventh on the grid, while another two-stop strategy was adopted by Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen, who finished third from 13th on the grid - despite suffering from an injured back. Vettel and Alonso have finished first and second now for the last three races.

The Singapore Grand Prix got underway in 67% humidity, with all the drivers apart from Force India's Adrian Sutil starting on the P Zero Red supersoft tyre. The first driver to head into the pits was Raikkonen, for another set of supersofts on lap 10. Vettel ran a long first stint to build up an advantage of more than 35 seconds before his first pit stop on lap 17 for a set of mediums, emerging back in the lead.

On lap 25 the safety car was deployed for an eventual total of five laps, keeping up another 100% record for the Marina Bay circuit. A number of drivers took advantage of this situation to come into the pits for a tyre change, but the top four (who were all on the medium compound) stayed out, with Vettel's 13-second lead eliminated.

Nonetheless, the German extended his advantage in order to make a second stop, this time for new supersofts, on lap 44 without losing the lead. This enabled him to eventually win the race by half a minute. With a low pit lane speed limit and a long pit lane in Singapore, there was a considerable time penalty for each stop - the biggest of the year - which meant that teams tried to minimise the time spent in the pits.

Paul Hembery: "Thermal degradation proved to be the limiting factor that the tyres had to overcome today rather than actual wear at Singapore: a race that proved to be just as tough as everyone expected. Both compounds, but in particular the supersoft, showed plenty of durability as well as pace and were the most appropriate choice for this race. One of the biggest complications is that the race strategy here has to be flexible in order to take into account the length of the race and the potential for safety cars, which ensured once again that the race went to the full two hours. The safety car mixed up the strategies considerably, but while Vettel was in a league of his own, there was an intense tactical battle for the final podium positions behind him. In the closing stages there was plenty of action, with different strategies ensuring a tight battle for the points' places and several passing manoeuvres on a circuit where it's not normally so easy to overtake."
