The Brazilian was one of the stars of the Australian Grand Prix, as he charged to fifth place after what had been an extremely difficult weekend for the team.
"It's a boost for everyone in the team," said Nasr. "I think it's motivation for everyone, all the mechanics.
"It just shows the team made a good progression over last year, and I still think there is margin for more – if we are able to invest more in the car, I think there I still more potential to come."
Nasr, making his grand prix debut, admited the result was a surprise to him.
"I didn't expect that to be honest. But in the end it's a big relief for everyone, for myself, for the team. I'm just so happy that everything came together in this race, because we know how things can be, especially in a first race, it can be quite chaotic.
"It's incredible, I have to say. I think no one was expecting that. It was such an exercise for myself as well mentally, to keep everything under control, and to be able to focus when I was in the car.
"It shows the team was ready as well, I think they never gave up. It only shows the motivation of the guys, they knew the potential, and they were able to deliver it.
"I'm just so pleased it was a clean race, we had no issues on the car, the pit stop went well, the strategy went well as well. It's difficult to get days like this, being realistic. As I said we were ready for it, and we took the opportunity home."
