Nelson Piquet Jr: "It was a bit of a difficult weekend, but there are still a lot of positives and at least we know we are quick and still in the lead in the championship. In the first race I did a little mistake at the start and went out with the wrong gear and lost a lot of positions, but the cars that crashed were unlucky and I gained the positions I had lost at the start. Throughout I was quicker than Jani but it's difficult to follow on this track and it's not easy to overtake. I tried sometimes to make some gaps and do a fastest lap which I did, so that's something good. In the second race I made a good start but then the car choked, I don't know why, and I fell back a bit. I was quick and really thought I could do well but then we had the bad pitstop and the drive through. When the safety car went back in I was in the points but the Japanese guy made a silly, inexperienced mistake and put me out. Now we look forward to Estoril and try to increase the lead we have there."

Emerson Fittipaldi: "The best thing is that we are still leading the championship, although this afternoon was
really disappointing. Also, we know that we were the fastest car on the track in both races, and got the fastest lap in both. In the first race Nelson was clever to avoid the incident at the first corner. He was the fastest man but he couldn't get past Switzerland. He still finished a strong third though and I really think with each race he is getting tougher. In the second race we had a difficult pitstop and then we were penalised, so we lost a lot of
ground. Nelson did a fantastic restart after the safety car came in but he got squeezed by two cars and had nowhere to go when the Japan car turned in on him. He is lucky the car didn't end up upside-down."

Pakistan

Adam Khan: "First of all I'd like to say how deeply sorry and how filled with sorrow I am following the terrible tragedy in Pakistan. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Pakistan at this time. The racing this weekend was secondary in my mind and at times it was difficult to keep focused.

"The first race was disappointing but that's the way racing goes sometimes. I struggled a little with the balance of the car in early stages of the second race but I still managed to do the business. The strategy for the early pit-stop was definitely the correct decision as it meant I could make the most of the clean air. The safety car period didn't really help me in any way, but after retiring in the first race I was happy with my performance in the Feature Race.

David Sears, Team Principal: "At the start of the first race Adam (Khan) shot away and went from 16th to 7th into the first corner. Following the contact at the first corner the front tyre worked its way loose eventually ending up underneath the car.

"The team quickly repaired the car in time for the Feature Race where Adam used his head and moved from 21st to 12th place at the chequered flag. "

Arif Husain: "I am very pleased with the outcome of Adam and A1 Team Pakistan, particularly on a day like today when the whole country is under a dark cloud after the event of the disastrous earthquake. Adam was here to do a job for his country and we are all very proud of him."

New Zealand

Jonny Reid: "It was an unbelievable comeback. I'm stoked with the team and the way they changed the gearbox and handled the main race pit stop.

"I had the best start of my career in the Sprint Race and while I'm disappointed I didn't get a podium finish, especially when I had a real sniff in the Feature Race, this was my first taste of A1 and I had a lot to learn."

Colin Giltrap, Team owner: "Considering that we had only qualified in fourteenth place, it was a supreme effort," Giltrap said. "It really gave the team confidence and we couldn't have been more proud of Jonny. He kept a cool head, belied his age and experience and, really, was absolutely terrific in his A1 debut.

"I think it was smart to finish fourth in the Feature Race rather than having an all-out lunge at the Canadian. Consistency is the key in this championship."

Dick Bennetts, Technical Director: "During the morning's warm-ups we were looking to secure data with a full tank of gas, evaluate the changes we made after qualifying and also practice some pit stops," Bennetts said. "Not only did we dip out on those opportunities, it was a mad scramble to determine what the problem was and rebuild the gear box in a hurry.

"It was also our only chance for Jonny to get back into race mode, so he had a difficult start to the race day. But this sort of adversity is part of motorsport and you simply have to take it in your stride and rise above it.

"At least the problems occurred during the warm-up and not the races itself. That would have been a real disaster. So, all in all, we're extremely relieved and delighted."

Britain

Robbie Kerr: "In the Sprint race I had a good start and going into the first corner everybody collected each other. A racing incident.
