Jenson Button on why strategy uncertainty could help his and McLaren's cause on Sunday; Pastor Maldonado on the mistake which cost him a potential place in Q3 for Lotus - and why he is positive about his chances of fighting for the points; and Sebastian Vettel on his targets for the race given his pit lane start for Red Bull.

McLaren
Kevin Magnussen (8th, Q3 - 1:37.706)
"Qualifying seventh and eighth isn't particularly satisfying for anyone, but it's pretty much where we are with our car right now. Jenson and I were pretty evenly matched all afternoon, so I think it's pretty safe to say we got the maximum out of the car.

Jenson Button (7th, Q3 - 1:37.655)
