2016 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX EDITION CEDES Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport: We’re delighted with the result. To take finish at a circuit that hasn’t been so good to us in the past two years is really This is Red Bull and Ferrari territory, it shows what a great place we are with our d engine that we were able to take such a strong finish. BULL orner, Team Principal: After a promising start. It was impossible to cover (Vettel) with both cars, so we covered with the lead car which was Daniel, nfortunately Max dropped behind after the first round of stops and thereafter s entered into battles with the respective Ferrari drivers. AULT eur, Team Principal: That was a strong race for us and illustrates the progress e. It’s no secret that our primary focus has moved to next year’s car but we ood potential to score in 2016. Both drivers did a very good job, but Jolyon’s ce was particularly notable after missing most of Friday’s running. BER altenborn, Team Principal: We cannot be satisfied with this result. Looking at positions it was already difficult from the beginning. We know that overtaking k is almost impossible. It was definitely not a trouble-free weekend. O ROSSO Team Principal: It was not an easy race, as the teams in the midfield are very her. Alonso was able to gain a position at the start of the race and after that it sible for Carlos to overtake him. He therefore finished in eighth position, which e is good because we could add some points to our tally. IAMS ley, Head of Performance Engineering: I’m disappointed with that result. We k very hard for those two points. I think we achieved the maximum we could i, he drove a solid race, but the pace of the car is just not there. After Felipe’s n Saturday the car was out of balance and he just couldn’t get into a rhythm. GPI
