Thierry Salvi, Renault: "Sebastian suffered an issue with the electronics at the beginning of the race where he was not able to accelerate for 30 seconds. The reasons why are still under investigation as everything came back to life shortly afterwards. This failure cost him a lot. Daniel had a difficult start and worked hard throughout the race to come back into the points. There's a lot of work to do before Silverstone."

Nico claimed his fourth win of the season and eighth consecutive podium after starting third on the grid. Lewis finished second after gaining seven places, securing the team's sixth one-two finish in the 2014 season. Both drivers ran two-stop strategies, running a tyre choice of option/prime/prime. Seven of the top ten were powered by Mercedes-Benz and this was win 106 for Mercedes-Benz power in Formula One.

Toto Wolff: A fantastic result for us here in Austria and we are just delighted to get a one-two finish today. The race was all about management: managing the brakes because this is such a tough circuit for them, and also looking after the Power Unit to make sure we didn't have any repeat of the problems in Canada. Nico and Lewis did an incredible job - a controlled drive from Nico, where he let the race come to him and let our strategy play out, which worked really well; then a really typical dynamic drive from Lewis, who just did an amazing first lap to climb from 9th to 4th. After that, the guys pushed each other hard but we made sure to bring the cars home, too. It's a great day for the team to take another one-two finish and congratulations, too, to our partners at Williams, who made it four Mercedes Benz engines in the top four this afternoon.

Paddy Lowe: We woke up this morning knowing that we had a big job to do today given our less than ideal qualifying positions. We had a lot of work to do with the strategy to get the cars to the front. Both drivers had great starts and a good first lap, particularly from Lewis which meant we were in P3 and P4 after lap one. Behind the scenes we were doing a lot to manage the condition of the car during the race, at the same time as running a strategy to overtake the Williams, who looked to have very strong pace today. To finish where we did is a credit to the whole team. Well done to Williams for getting P3 and P4 and congratulations to Mercedes-Benz for securing seven out of the top ten positions with no retirements at this particulary demanding circuit.

Pat Fry: "After a good start both Kimi and Fernando struggled a lot on the Supersoft because of graining on the rears which slowed their pace. In this stint, a gap grew to the Mercedes-engined cars which made the most of their superior power down the three straights. Apart from the actual result, we can nevertheless be pleased because in the second and third stints, especially with Fernando, we were one of the quickest cars on track and that shows that, race by race, we are making small steps forward. Kimi struggled more than Fernando and unfortunately, with him we paid a high price for his in-lap before his first stop when the rear tyres were on the limit. Now we must look ahead to the next race in Silverstone, a very different circuit to this one, where we can also expect the Red Bulls to be back on form. As usual we will try and be in the fight and to prepare our car as well as possible for this new challenge."

Romain started from the pit lane following a gearbox change with new super soft tyres, pitting on laps 3 and 27 for new soft tyres. Pastor started from thirteenth position on new soft tyres, stopping for a new set of softs on lap 26 and a new set of super softs on lap 56.

Federico Gastaldi, Deputy Team Principal: "There are positives from today. Both cars made the chequered flag in what's been a difficult race for many teams. Pastor and Romain really got their heads down and made the most of the cars under them and should be applauded for today's drives. It is obvious where we are lacking against our rivals so our focus going forwards is clear."

Alan Permane, Trackside Operations Director: "That was a tough race in many respects. The nature of this circuit is definitely a challenge for us and we had concerns over the brakes after the hot conditions here today. We've certainly learnt a lot from our return to Spielberg and our focus now turns to the familiarity of Silverstone which should suit our package far better."

Simon Rebreyend, Renault Sport F1 track support leader: "Unfortunately that was the best result we could have expected today from our starting positions. We extracted as much as we could from the power unit in the race, both in terms of energy management and power, but we were not close enough to fight for the points. We will work with the team to be in a better position for its home race in Silverstone in two weeks."

Jenson had a difficult afternoon. From 11th on the grid, he dropped to 13th after being pushed wide at the first corner. Thereafter, he wasn't quite able to get his tyres working, and spent the last two stints pushing to usurp Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen, who was running ahead of him for much of the race. Jenson eventually finished 11th.

Eric Boullier, Racing Director: "Kevin drove extremely maturely all afternoon, balancing the need to turn fast laps when required with the ever-present necessity to manage tyre wear.

"For the first half of the race, he was able to maintain a steady sixth place, best of the rest behind the two Mercedes-Benzes, the two Williamses and Fernando's [Alonso] Ferrari. He did well to hold that position until lap 66, when, running on worn Primes, he was unable to prevent Checo, running on fresh Options, from passing him.

"Jenson was never quite able to compensate for his less-than-optimal grid position, but he nonetheless did his level best to capitalise on an adventurous race strategy which in the end didn't quite work out. As a result, he was able to finish only 11th, through no fault of his own.

"In summary, then, seventh and 11th isn't the result we were hoping for, but, as I said yesterday, we're on the right development path, even if the gains we're making are frustratingly incremental at the moment. We'll continue to work as hard as we possibly can in an effort gradually to enlarge those gains, but it won't be an instant fix.

"Even so, we're very much looking forward to the Santander British Grand Prix, at Silverstone, the spiritual home of British motorsport, where, once again, you can be well sure that Jenson and Kevin will both be driving their hearts out in an effort to put on a good show for McLaren's many UK-based fans, who'll be cheering them on from the packed grandstands all around the circuit."

Dr Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: "All in all it's encouraging to see both our cars come home in the points to maintain our fourth place in the championship. Checo's race was particularly noteworthy when you consider that he started from P16. It was a very mature drive and he did a fantastic job of looking after the tyres and making an alternative strategy work. His pace was excellent, he set the fastest lap of the race, and he didn't put a wheel wrong. The opening lap was the key to making the strategy work because he overtook five cars. Nico's two-stop race followed a similar pattern to most of the frontrunners, but he struggled for outright pace on the soft tyres. He still picked up a couple of points - continuing his run of points in every race this year, which shows how consistent he has been. It sets us up nicely for the British Grand Prix where we will try and deliver another strong showing at our local track."

Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "Our work today is not acceptable. Such a mistake at a pitstop must simply not happen. We will carefully look into our procedures and the consequences, and we will take appropriate measures. Today, both drivers put in good performances, but this doesn't help when we make mistakes. We cannot afford that. Concerning the event in Spielberg, I would like to forward a big thank you to the organisers and the spectators for welcoming us to this great race and creating such a fantastic atmoshpere."

Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "What we delivered today is inexcusable. Our performance was decent, considering our potential, but the mistakes at the pit stop spoiled our race. Procedures were not adhered to. As a result we stopped the wrong car on the track. Equally unacceptable was Esteban's first pit stop, during which he was released although the wheel nut on his rear right wheel didn't go on. At the same time, Adrian, who was out on the track, was stopped by a radio communication which was simply a huge mistake."

Ricardo Penteado (Renault Sport F1 track support leader): "We had a lot of promise this weekend but unfortunately didn't deliver in the race. The Power Unit has worked well over the entire event and was engaging extremely well with the new aero package. Daniil's grid position is a lot more representative of where we are than the race results show today."

Both Mercedes were able to get ahead of the Williams during the pitstops but the team did a great job with Valtteri recording the quickest stop of the race. The team scored a valuable 27 points moving Williams up to fifth in the Constructors' Championship ahead of its home race at Silverstone.

Rob Smedley, Head of Performance Engineering: I believe we got everything out of today that we could have done. It was a difficult race in terms of managing brakes, systems on the car and tyres, and that dictated what we could do with strategy. The two car crews did a great job to manage tyres and get us to the end of the race and both drivers drove a sensible race. Considering where the team was 12 months ago, to where we are today, everyone should be very proud of this result and enjoy this moment. Securing 27 points is a great result today.

John Booth, Team Principal: "We leave Austria with mixed feelings after the race today. On the one hand, each car held off a Caterham. On the other hand, we didn't quite have the pace when looking to the Sauber and Lotus cars in front. Both drivers held their nerve with our one-stop strategy; we had opted to start on the prime tyre in order to give us a clear first stint in terms of traffic. This paid off slightly better for Jules than Max, but obviously with Max starting from the back this was inevitable. In the last few laps, both cars got close to the cars immediately in front. With an extra lap, Jules could have had a good tussle with Grosjean and with the absence of a couple of blue flags for Max, he could have passed Kobayashi. We knew this track would be tough for our package, however both on the Marussia side and Scuderia Ferrari side we have worked to extract as much performance as we could. We hope this continues into Silverstone at what is maybe a slightly better circuit for our car."

Claudio Albertini, Head of Customer Teams Power Unit Operations, Scuderia Ferrari: "It's been a good weekend all in all, both in terms of the final result and the development of the partnership between Marussia and Scuderia Ferrari. From the point of view of reliability, we have not had major problems, which is especially important in light of the difficulties encountered during the previous Canadian Grand Prix. That said, we must always keep our eyes wide open on every detail, considering also that there is always room for improvement. Particular attention was paid at the beginning of the weekend the refinement of the parameters of the power management unit, since there were no recent benchmarks on this circuit. The next date on the calendar is Silverstone, a few miles from the headquarters of the team in Banbury. It would be nice to get a good result in their home race and we will do everything on our part to provide Jules and Max with the best situation for success."

Rosberg's team mate Lewis Hamilton used the same strategy even more effectively. Hamilton started on the P Zero Red supersoft and then completed two stints on the P Zero Yellow soft, to finish just 1.9 seconds behind his team mate despite starting from ninth on the grid. Both drivers fought closely to the end, with Valtteri Bottas clinching his debut podium, just eight seconds off the lead.

The Force India of Sergio Perez started from 15th on the grid on the soft tyres and went to lap 29 before completing one more stint on the soft and then the final stint on the rapid supersoft compound. This opposite tactic from most drivers elevated him to sixth at the finish.

Despite track temperatures in excess of 40 degrees centigrade, the two Marussia drivers - Jules Bianchi and Max Chilton - as well as Caterham's Kamui Kobayashi all finished the race with just one pit stop.

Paul Hembery: "Tyre performance was very much in line with our expectations today, despite the warmer conditions. As a result of that, degradation was a little higher than we saw previously and it was a straightforward two-stop race, with a one-stopper becoming a little too ambitious for most teams. We saw an entertaining grand prix where tyre strategy was very important, and of course it's always great to see a new face on the podium. Congratulations to Valtteri and Williams, as well as Mercedes, for a great performance all weekend."

Truth-O-Meter

Our two-stop prediction was: start on supersoft, change to soft on lap 13 and soft again on lap 42. Rosberg stopped slightly earlier than our prediction, on laps 11 and 40, but followed the same strategy.
