    Nice touch from Nico Rosberg there. The German is down in 13th, his title chance over, but he still wants to get to the line like a pro.

    Mercedes:, external He's giving it all he's got, but Nico Rosberg is powerless (literally) to resist overtakes. Not like this - not like this...

    What a finish this is from Felipe Massa, now just 3.8 seconds. I think Lewis Hamilton has done enough, but Massa is not giving this up without a fight. He wants that first win since 2008. Hamilton, though, is taking it very steady.

    Felipe Massa now 5.8 seconds behind race leader Lewis Hamilton. "It's impressive stuff from the Williams team," says BBC co-commentator David Coulthard.

    Nico Rosberg is currently seventh, with Lewis Hamilton leading. So as it stands, Hamilton will win the title. But what if Felipe Massa catches Hamilton and the two bang wheels, forcing Hamilton out? That would mean Rosberg would only need fifth to win the title. Just saying.
