"A fantastic race, a fantastic weekend with the pole and a strategy as well as fantastic this afternoon. As for the podium ceremony is incredible and this is the best day of my life.
Never forget these sentiments. It is so incredible. It's better than I had ever expected. Thank you to everyone in the team for their hard work. After a bad start this season, has become better and better. Perhaps under current conditions, could close the gap with a little more effort or hit the accelerator a little more. I am speechless. As for the race, we were very fast in a straight line because we were going with a high-speed downforce because we thought it could be dry and remained dry. Being at the helm, without problems of visibility is the key and I could build a strong difference with Heikki immediately. So I was pushing very hard, perhaps going beyond the limit at times and I have almost lost the car. In the last part I was in a good position with intermediate tyres. I could not believe it when they kept saying "P1" in my marker. But I kept focused and have continued pushing so as not to lose concentration. A perfect weekend. "

"I'm not sure what happened in the grill. When I tried to put first and I could not have draught, he lost a return immediately after the race started behind the safety car. It must have been a dream weekend with a chance to finish first and third, but unfortunately for me, has been first and nothing. However, this has been a great day for Sebastian and the team. "
Franz Tost: "This was the weekend of Vettel. From Friday onwards, he has controlled the pace and the situation until today, from start to finish, drove a fantastic race without mistakes in very difficult circumstances. I think that showed today that he will become a very successful pilot of Formula 1. It is unfortunate for Bourdais who has had a problem on the grid, because he also had a good weekend until today. The team, headed by Giorgio Ascanell also did a good job in terms of preparing for the race and how they implemented the strategy and pit stops and we can all be proud of what we have achieved. It's great to get this result here at Monza in our home Grand Prix and I am particularly happy about that Gerhard had waited twenty years to return to the podium as winner of Monza. "
