Timo Scheider [OPC Team Phoenix]:
"To finish seventh having started 14th, I had to fight hard. From that point of view, I am satisfied with my points scoring position."
Gary Paffett [Service 24h AMG-Mercedes]:
"It was a great race and I had lot of support from our team."
Karl Wendlinger [PlayStation 2 Red Bull Abt-Audi]:
"I am annoyed indeed for just having missed the points again. In practice, I was much closer to the front and had it not been for a technical problem in qualifying, I would have been in Super Pole. But that is now over and done with: in three weeks time, it is my home round at the A1-Ring, I am already looking forward to that."
Peter Terting [S line Audi Junior Team]:
"On the second lap, somebody ran into the left rear part of my car. In the process, something on the suspension was bent. After the first tyre change, my Abt-Audi was a little bit better again. I could keep the pace and also overtake a few opponents. Then, something on the left rear broke, and unfortunately, that was it."
Christian Abt [Hasseröder Abt-Audi]:
"I had such a great start and I could already overtake two or three cars on the straight already. On the first corner, I probably wanted a little bit too much and I accelerated too early. I made up to the midfield again, but then the gearbox failed. But our first victory is the most important thing for me today. Nice, that the hard work of the past few months has paid off."
Martin Tomczyk [S line Audi Junior Team]:
"I could keep the pace of the front runners quite well. Then something broke on the gearbox after the first pit stop. When shifting down, I first missed one gear and then more and more, and finally, I had to retire. Too bad."
