Car 1 SEBASTIAN VETTEL, Finish Position: WINNER! Start Position: 1st
"It's been a fantastic weekend. Yesterday's qualifying was perfect and
today again, the balance of the car was amazing. We didn't change too
much at the stops; it just seemed to work fantastically well. I'm very
happy, the guys have been pushing very hard and even though we didn't
have major upgrades here, it still seemed to come together and the
balance was there – and that's what made the difference today. It's a
shame for Alonso, it's not something you hope for and it could happen to
us at the next race. We've seen this year there are a lot of up and
downs and things change quickly - we have to keep our heads down and
take it step by step."
Car 2 MARK WEBBER, Finish Position: 9th, Start Position: 2nd
"I haven't seen what happened at the start, but it's been confirmed
that it was Grosjean who hit me. We're trying to fight for results each
weekend and it doesn't help so, yeah, it's frustrating as a few of the
big guys suffered out there today. We went onto a one-stop strategy from
then on, but I kept pushing, I didn't give up and got something from
it. To finish eight seconds off fifth, after the fact I was in reverse
at one point - and also the safety car came in before I caught the back
of the field - was something. I'll come back in Korea."
CHRISTIAN HORNER, Team Principal
"A great result
for Sebastian; to win in such a dominant fashion really closes up the
Championship. It was a textbook drive for Sebastian today; he really was
in a class of his own. The frustration for the team is the incident
with Mark and Grosjean in Turn 2, where Grosjean completely misjudged
the corner and hit Mark taking him out of the race. Mark then had to
come into the pits for a safety check, change tires and the nose and
then, before he had a chance to join the back of the pack, the race
re-started, so he was 20 seconds behind. His recovery from that far back
thereafter was excellent and he drove very well. It's a shame we
couldn't have got even more from today, but it's always fantastic to win
in Suzuka."
CYRIL DUMONT, Renault
"An awesome result - it
was the perfect result for Sebastian with pole position, fastest lap and
the race win. Unfortunately for Mark it was more difficult, we had the
pace to be first and second, but everything was over after Turn 2 for
Mark. He made a very good fight back after that. It's great to be in
both Championships for the final races."
