"It was a really disappointing day for me and one I would rather forget. We bounced around with setup all day and looked at what other teams were doing to their cars too much and ended up in no man's land. I feel we need to stay focused on ourselves and try to maximise the package we have. It was always going to be a struggle from the start after we qualified poorly, but we have another day tomorrow to bounce back."

"It was a pretty good race for us today, and I have to thank the Red Bull Holden Racing Team for giving me a great car. We ran a bit longer for our strategy and changed the rear tyres and tried to catch Scotty (McLaughlin), but he was just too good. Maybe if we changed the side tyres instead, I would have had a bit more front grip, but the aero wash and the placement of his car meant I couldn't get close to him to even have a lunge. Hopefully, we'll qualify a bit better tomorrow which is so important at this track and get ready for another couple of races."
