Fernando Alonso (Renault) Finished 1st
This is a fantastic result - my first podium of the season; my first victory and I’m very happy. We chose a very aggressive strategy and we had a bit of luck, but we had the pace and the car was fantastic throughout the weekend

Nelson Piquet (Renault) Retired
From the start of the race things were complicated. The team asked me to push, which I tried to do and finally I lost the rear of my car. I hit the wall heavily but I’m ok. I am disappointed with my race but obviously very happy for the team this evening

Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) Finished 3rd
After the second re-start, I tried to stay as close as possible behind Nico; however, I didn’t want to take chances - particularly as the Ferraris were outside the points. Also, this is not a track where overtaking is easy. The first night race in Formula 1 history was great fun

Heikki Kovalainen (McLaren) Finished 10th
It was a strange race and most of the time I was in traffic with no overtaking chances. Halfway through the race I had brake problems and had to conserve them until the finish. I’m happy for Lewis and the team now that he has extended the championship lead and we are on top of the Constructors rankings

Felipe Massa (Ferrari) Finished 13th
It’s hard to deal with losing in this fashion a race that was within our grasp, with a car that was just the way I wanted it. On this track it is almost impossible to overtake and ending up at the back meant I had not chance of getting into the points. We mustn’t give up and I’m sure we won’t

Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari) Finished 15th
I was trying to attack Glock in case he might make a mistake, but I went slightly wide at the chicane, jumping over the kerb and when the car landed, I lost control and ended up in the barriers. I was able to get back up to fifth but then the incident I described earlier happened

Nico Rosberg (Williams) Finished 2nd
Before my stop-go penalty, I just had to push like mad and do qualifying lap after qualifying lap and I managed to build enough of a gap to complete my second stop and hold on to second place. With a handful or laps to go in the most physical race this year

Kazuki Nakajima (Williams) Finished 8th
I just had to push my race pace on regardless of what happened and overtake a few cars, and in the end, it was great to claim a point for the first time in a while. Hopefully today showed potential which we can try to maintain for the rest of the season

Robert Kubica (BMW Sauber) Finished 11th
The race was physically very hard. There are so many bumps, I hope the organisers will work on the surface for next year. The decision not to pit on the first lap when the pit lane was closed because of the safety car was unlucky, and cost me a good race result as the cars behind me closed the gap

Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber) Finished 6th
I hoped the others would kill their tyres and I could attack later. I think some did ruin their rubber, but still this wasn’t enough of an advantage to overtake. I had a good start during which I managed to pass Nico Rosberg. However, because of how the race turned out for me I hardly sweated at all

Jenson Button (Honda) Finished 9th
Unfortunately luck was not on our side, we were just not competitive or quick enough as I was struggling for balance for much of the race. To finish in ninth position is always frustrating as you are just outside of the points

Rubens Barrichello (Honda) Retired
The engine just died. I had lots of fuel on board and my place was great because I had good pace and was keeping up with the whole group in front of me. So we could have had a great end to the race. We lost a great opportunity today and obviously I feel very sad about that.

Timo Glock (Toyota) Finished 4th
I am happy with the job I did; I made no mistakes and fourth is a good result. It was quite tough out there in these conditions and with such a bumpy track the car was not very comfortable to drive; I am sure I will feel the effects tomorrow, but congratulations to Fernando, who did a great job

Jarno Trulli (Toyota) Retired
I had a hydraulic problem when I would have finished in fifth; that would have been good points from a weekend which has been quite hard for me. I am exhausted because I am so disappointed. I have been fighting really hard and doing a good job but when that bad luck comes you can’t do anything about it

David Coulthard (Red Bull) Finished 7th
There was a misunderstanding between some of the guys and I go when the lollipop comes up, but these things happen. Thankfully we got some points today. It was incredibly bumpy out there, you can’t see the braking down into Turn Seven and it was as hot as hell

Mark Webber (Red Bull) Retired
I lost seventh and then fifth gear, which cost us a fantastic result. We had some good pace in the second stint and it was looking good. Overall, the event here has been very impressive, I think we should do more night racing

Sebastian Vettel (Toro Rosso) Finished 5th
It was one of the toughest races of the season, but I think with everything that happened, this was the best result we could get. Maybe fourth might have been possible if I hadn’t lost a place to Timo (Glock) when I missed a braking point, but we can be happy with this fifth place

Sebastien Bourdais (Toro Rosso) Finished 12th
It was a tough race. It was a really tough race physically too, given how long it was and the lack of air coming through the cockpit and with a long last stint, I was running a heavy fuel load which meant my tyres were suffering towards the end. It’s been a long night

Giancarlo Fisichella (Force India) Finished 14th
It was a long, hard race, it was great to be back racing again and I think we had a good strategy that let us move up a few places. In the final few laps I had a small problem, but I’m really pleased we could get to the finish

Adrian Sutil (Force India) Retired
It was just so unlucky when Felipe spun in front of me and then suddenly pulled away. The way was blocked, but I avoided a crash with him only to go into the barrier myself. It’s really disappointing as we’ve had so much bad luck already this year
