Heikki Kovalainen - DNF: "My start was okay. I was taking it quite carefully and was trying to slot in behind Lewis, then I just lost the rear and spun out. It was my mistake. Game over."
Martin Whitmarsh team principal, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes: "The extremely changeable dry-wet conditions made today's race a very challenging one for all competitors but, as ever, Lewis's ability shone brightly in the gathering gloom and the race brought another really impressive performance from him. He kept his head throughout, and the result was a hard-earned point for seventh place. That may not sound like a great deal by our usually high standards but, given where he started, it's a step in the right direction. Overall, then, in testing conditions the team did a great job as did Lewis."
Norbert Haug vice-president, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport: "A race like a battle. Despite starting from the sixth row on the grid, Lewis was in good shape and everybody who kept his car on the track in these conditions was a hero today. Congratulations to Jenson Button and Brawn GP on the second consecutive win with Mercedes power; which he both achieved from pole position."
