Natalie Hoffman:, external Don't feel sorry for Nico. It's the final race of the season. Reliability was always gonna be a possible issue. Look at Pastor's car!
Jamie Lee:, external Shame Nico Rosberg is battling with his car further down the grid instead of a championship battle with Lewis Hamilton.
Another fastest lap from Felipe Massa and the Brazilian is now just 8.3 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton! Eight laps to go.
Felipe Massa sets the fastest lap of the race to cut the gap to Lewis Hamilton to 10.3 seconds. Meanwhile, Nico Hulkenberg cruises past Nico Rosberg in a wounded Mercedes to snatch seventh. It was all too easy.

"Rosberg is driving with a wounded car. It's impressive how he is being able to manage all the problems he's had."
"You're on for possibly P5 if you can keep Nico Hulkenberg behind," Mercedes' Nico Rosberg tells his charge. That's going to be quite a challenge because the Force India is lapping very quickly on the super-softs.

"I think Williams see an opportunity - they can put some pressure on for a victory."
Lewis Hamilton is told that Felipe Massa has fitted the super-soft tyres so he needs to keep the pace up. The Briton leads Massa by 10.8 seconds.
Felipe Massa pits from the lead and rejoins in second, 11 seconds behind Lewis Hamilton. Massa has chosen the super-soft tyres. Is the Brazilian going to try and hunt Hamilton down? Game on!
Lewis Hamilton has got the gap down to Felipe Massa to 13.6 seconds with Daniel Ricciardo 24.1 seconds further back.
Lewis Hamilton: "Please don't turn up the car! Leave it alone, it's all working perfectly."
Nico Rosberg is up to seventh after Sergio Perez pits, but his title challenge is all but over as he continues to fall back.
Nico Rosberg: "Hey guys what's going on? The car switched off and now the throttle's all over the place. Get my brake pedal back now please!"
Felipe Massa's late first pit stop means he's going very deep into this race. The Brazilian is 14.2 seconds clear of Lewis Hamilton with Daniel Ricciardo 23.8secs further back. Fifteen laps to go.
Nico Rosberg's outside chance of denying Lewis Hamilton the title took a hit when his car developed a problem with its ERS.
Re-live the moment when the problem struck here.
Nico Rosberg has dropped down to eighth and is now lapping slower than everyone else on track. It's all gone wrong for the German.
Jamie Pragnell in Eastleigh: When Lewis Hamilton last won the title in 2008 in Brazil, it was Felipe Massa who won the race.....could exactly the same thing be about to happen again?

"Hamilton is now bringing the gap down to Massa. He's looking calm and cool right now. He is absolutely focused, there are no signs of him blinking."
