ANTÓNIO FÉLIX DA COSTA

"Honestly, it's a dream day, you know, to win in front of so much of my family. They kind of see me leave the house and arrive back sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes healthy, sometimes not so healthy, and they only hear about it, and we discuss it on the dinner table and all that, but they were here today. They don't get to see me race, and to do it in front of them is just amazing. So, yeah, very happy with that. You guys know I'm an emotional guy, and today we just took it up a notch.

"It was amazing. I mean, the track is so demanding for the drivers physically. In terms of bravery, it's a real challenge, old school, you know. We saw a lot of guys today making mistakes and paying a big price for it. That's what we like to see. So, yeah, winning the race here makes it even more special."

"It's a great track, very old school. Yeah, it's a bit of a hidden gem here. Most of the day wasn't too great in terms of pace. Really struggled on the wet, even yesterday in the dry we struggled. So, yeah, to kind of get creative with the strategy, and we really nailed it today.

"Hats off to my strategy guys. They called it, I obviously had to execute it, but I had a clear plan from them and, yeah, that's what gave me that kind of advantage towards the end. I was able to use it through the pit window, and the energy advantage really helped out today. So, yeah, very happy.

"At the end, I wasn't trying to pass him (Antonio), I was told I had to stay behind. I was just trying to protect myself from Dan behind. I was very frustrated in the car, but obeyed the order, so... yeah, anyway, is what it is. Team got the result they wanted."

PASCAL WEHRLEIN

"Very happy about that podium. It's one of the best third positions I've had in my career because with that contact in the beginning with (Nyck) De Vries, I didn't expect to even finish in the points. The car got quite a big hit and damage on the rear, and I just struggled with oversteer, basically, the whole race. Yeah, didn't have the balance then to push harder in the end to put myself in the fight for the win. So, I already kind of expected to be in P4, which was anyway a lot better than I anticipated with that damage.

"It's very impressive what Formula E has built up here and for a first event here in Jarama. How many people came to the track today, even though the weather was quite terrible - especially for Spain. So many people, so much support, so much attention, also from the government and everything."

NICK CASSIDY

"Yeah (speaking about Citroën's first pole position) it was cool. It was pretty good. A win, a podium, a pole, if you told me that before the season, I'd be quite happy with that. So, to have achieved them all in six races is pretty cool.

"(In the race) I actually touched with Norman (Nato) on the last lap. Probably majority my fault and I've damaged the car, so I finished with a broken front wheel. It's a good track here. It was good fun."
