Heikki a 14. helyen fejezte be a futamot. Petrov 11. hely�vel a Caterham visszaszerezte a 10. hely�t a konstrukt�riben.

Heikki Kovalainen: „J�l rajtoltam, elker�ltem a baleseteket, de amikor a m�sodik ki�ll�sn�l mindkett�nket egyszerre h�vtak be, gond t�madt a jobb h�ts� kerekemn�l, ami rengeteg id�vesztes�ggel j�rt, onnant�l pedig m�r csak pr�b�ltam felz�rk�zni. Az utols� ker�kcser�n�l extr�m es�gumikra v�ltottunk, h�tha er�s�dni kezd az es�, de a z�r� k�r�k kiv�tel�vel nagyon kicsi volt a tapad�s azon a szetten. A l�nyeg persze a v�geredm�ny, ami az utols� pillanatban j�l is alakult sz�munkra” //

"I'm really pleased for the team today and delighted that we've secured tenth place in the championship after a pretty intense race. It was one of those afternoons when anything could have happened and I think it was down to really good work right across the whole team that got us to where we finished today. My race was pretty interesting. I had an ok start and missed the problems on lap one but when we brought both cars in for the second stop there was an issue with my right rear that cost a lot of time and from that point I was playing catch up with the cars ahead. We went onto full wets on the last stop to cover the chance of the rain increasing but there was very little grip until the last couple of laps on that set. Despite that it was all about the final result and it came good right when it mattered."

Heikki Kovalainen: „A kvalifik�ci� kezdet�n el�g tr�kk�sek voltak a k�r�lm�nyek, mivel �llt a v�z a p�ly�n az els� n�h�ny k�rben, �s annak ellen�re, hogy egyre jobb lett a tapad�s, m�g mindig kevesebb volt, mint a harmadik szabadedz�sen. A v�g�n egyre jobb id�k sz�lettek, �s tal�n m�g es�ly�nk is volt a Q2-be ker�l�sre, de kimondottan boldogok lehet�nk az eredm�ny�nkkel. Az utols� k�r�mben elk�vettem j� n�h�ny apr�bb hib�t, de ett�l eltekintve k�zel voltam ahhoz, hogy a lehet� legt�bbet kihozzam az aut�b�l. Sz�val mostant�l m�r holnapra koncentr�lunk. A verseny nagyon szoros lesz – ha az el�rejelz�sek helyesek, akkor el�g ki�lezett lesz a helyzet, de tudjuk, mit kell tenn�nk, �s m�r v�rjuk a holnapot.” //

"At the start of qualifying it was quite tricky as there was some standing water on track in the first couple of laps and even though the grip levels improved there was still less grip than in FP3. In the end the times kept coming down and maybe we had a chance to get into Q2, but we can be reasonably happy with how it finished. On my final lap I made a couple of small mistakes, but apart from that I was close to getting as much as I could out of the car so now we move on to tomorrow. The race is going to be really tight - if the forecasts are right it will be pretty tense out there but we know what to do and we're looking forward to it."

Heikki Kovalainen: Mivel kihagytam az els� edz�st ma d�lel�tt – Giedo �lt az aut�ban – nagyon fontos volt, hogy annyit menjek, amennyit csak tudjak. A szok�sos programon ment�nk kereszt�l: be�ll�t�sok �s a gumik haszn�lata. Ezen a p�ly�n valamennyivel r�videbb egy k�r, mint a t�bbi helysz�nen, de az �ltalunk futott id�k relat�v rendben voltak a k�r�l�tt�nk l�v� aut�khoz k�pest. M�g egy kis munka ma este, �s szerintem rendben lesz�nk holnap az id�m�r�n �s ut�na a versenyen is. //

"Having sat out FP1 I was back in the car for the afternoon session and it was important to get as much mileage completed as possible. We went through the usual program, focusing on tyre usage and setups on different fuel loads and I think it went ok. It's a shorter lap here in Brazil than quite a few of the other circuits, but our times looked ok relative to the cars around us and with some more work tonight and tomorrow we should be ok both for qualifying and the race on Sunday."

Heikki Kovalainen: "Interlagos j� hely sz�munkra a szezon lez�r�s�ra, mivel az egyik olyan p�lya, ahol b�rmi megt�rt�nhet. �gy t�nik, minden nap eshet az es�, ez�rt kulcsfontoss�g� lesz a teljes�tm�ny szempontj�b�l a helyes strat�gia - a j�l id�z�tett ker�kcser�k �s el�nyt kell szerezni az id�m�r� edz�sen, vagy a versenyen t�rt�ntekb�l. A p�lya maga eg�szen tr�kk�s. Egyes r�szein eg�sz sz�k, j�l kell megv�lasztani az ir�nyt, mert egy�bk�nt k�nnyen hib�zhatsz. A brazil verseny az egyik legjobb hangulat� az eg�sz szezonban. A rajong�k hihetetlen�l rajongnak a Formula-1-�rt, ismerik a sportot �s az eg�sz h�tv�g�t egy �ri�si partiv� var�zsolj�k a lel�t�kon. Ez eg�szen j� vas�rnap, amikor a rajtr�cson �llsz �s a lel�t�kon nagy a vid�ms�g - nagyszer� hely a Formula-1-es aut�k versenyz�s�re."
