Williams on how their performance was compromised by the wet conditions at Suzuka; Jean-Eric Vergne on his drive from the rear of the field to score points; Red Bull on their strong form in the wet; and the F1 community on why results matter little given Jules Bianchi's serious accident.
The drivers and senior team personnel report back on the 2014 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix...
Williams
Valtteri Bottas, 6th

"It was not an easy race for us today, however we still got some points which is good. The car wasn't great in the wet but we made the most of the strategy and extracted what we could. We are missing pace in the corners and so conceded a lot of time. It was a surprise to see the Red Bull so quick, in the dry we would have fared better. I really hope Jules is ok after the incident and that it is nothing serious."
Felipe Massa, 7th
"The race was very difficult today, I suffered at the start with aquaplaning and towards the end it started to get dark as the rain fell again. The Red Bulls were too fast for us today, especially on the intermediate tyre, so there was no chance we could defend. My main focus at the moment is that Jules is ok though."
Rob Smedley, Williams head of vehicle performance
"Our first concern is for the wellbeing of Jules, we hope that everything is ok. In the race we made some good strategy calls and as a result we extracted what we could and finished in a decent position. The conditions were difficult at the start and equally at the end as it got dark. However, our thoughts and hopes are with Jules, his family and friends, and the Marussia team."

Caterham
Kamui Kobayashi, 19th

"First of all I'd like to say that I hope Jules is okay and that his crash wasn't too bad. Today's race was a difficult one for me; overall I think I didn't have enough pace. Unfortunately my home Grand Prix didn't really work out as I would've liked it to, but today was okay and it was amazing to see all the fans in the grandstands even though it hasn't stopped raining all day
