Sebastian, last season pole and the win. This year pole and the win and all in the space of just one day.
Sebastian Vettel: Yeah, incredible day this morning with qualifying and with the pole position and this afternoon we just continued. So fantastic. It was down to the team. They have been working very hard, most of the guys they didn't sleep the Thursday until the Saturday, so it was good there was no qualifying as they didn't have to touch the car and got some sleep. I think they deserve it today. Obviously this track is like it is drawn for us. With all the high speed corners it is always a pleasure and with the car getting lighter and lighter in the end it is just more and more fun. Yeah, incredible. Good start which was the key, from the clean side, and I could see Robert (Kubica) got a bit of momentum but the way down to turn one was too short for him. Then with the safety car which stayed out quite long with the incident with Kubica but then after that both of us were able to pull away from the field and then just controlling the pace until the end. There was a little bit of a rest behind Jenson (Button) as we couldn't really go through him, so we had to wait until he pits. But after that, just incredible. So really, really happy and it is about time.

You looked to have the race pretty much under control from the off but Mark was putting you under serious pressure after the pit stops.
SV: Yeah, obviously in his position he tries to push. I know that overtaking is not so easy and I think I just went as fast as I had to. I could see we were pulling away. I was mainly given the pace Fernando was doing for the majority of the race. I could see Mark when he was about one, two or three seconds behind. Like I said with Button in the middle after the pit stop half-way through the race we had to back off a bit but once he pulled it was free for us to go. As you said it was pretty much controlled to the end, just trying to carry the car home. But still you want to push every single lap because the car is magnificent around here. It just feels fantastic, so really happy.

Mark, second today and increased championship lead. All in all a good day at the office.
Mark Webber: Absolutely. Very good day for me. It was close with Seb in qualifying. We know how crucial that is, so after that it was probably going to be difficult for me to win the race unless I got the start. I got a little bit of luck when Robert (Kubica) had the wheel nut come off. I could see it for most of that first lap and there was some debris coming back towards me, so I was pretty keen to pass him. I asked permission off Charlie (Whiting) to see if I could pass under the safety car but in the end Robert pulled over. Then after the restart it was just basically... it is a beautiful track but it is basically a formation finish. Both Sebastian and I just following each other around and it is very difficult to get much closer. Anything around about a second or second-and-a-half is about as good as it's going to get around here, so very happy with how I drove this weekend. Congratulations to Seb. He deserves the victory as he did a good job and Fernando didn't drive too bad either for third. All in all a good day for all of us and I am very happy with my position.

As you said, you did get very close to Seb. At times taking almost a second a lap, sometimes over a second a lap from him. When you got that close to him was it a case of the circuit not allowing you to overtake or was it that the tyres had started to go off by that point?
MW: Circuit, and also we were mindful if I kept going into the back of Sebastian then we were coming along with Jenson as well. All that together I needed to make sure that if JB stayed out a long, long time and I didn't have any tyres left trying to put pressure on Sebastian… even though Jenson wasn't really in the race, for the lead, but he was potentially going to play a role in backing us up against Fernando, so I needed to get the balance right. It was fun to bring the gap back down to Seb and after that track condition is king. I know the rules and that's how it is.

Fernando, great drive for you. Fourth on the grid and third in the race. It looked pretty lonely for you at times but at the end you got very close to Mark.
Fernando Alonso: Well, obviously it was a tough race. The start was not particularly good. I didn't make a good start. Robert did a fantastic start, on the clean side as well, so as Mark said, lucky when Robert retired as he was a tough rival, especially with the top speed of the Renault this weekend. Then I was more or less alone the whole race, no pressure from behind and impossible to catch Red Bull in the first part of the race. In the second part I think they managed the gap to Button a little bit. They were playing a little bit with that gap and I was able to run close to them but never close enough to put pressure. But anyway we knew that before coming here, third place was maybe our maximum position here. But we are convinced that this was the worst track for us for the remaining circuits of the championship, so it was a good weekend overall.

A few races ago you said that you needed a podium in the remaining five races of the year to have a real shot at the title. A podium this weekend but a decreased advantage in terms of yourself for the championship battle. Do you still think podiums are enough or is it going to have to be wins?
FA: I still think that podiums will be enough.
