So, for the third time in four races this season it is Lewis Hamilton who leaves a grand prix circuit with a win and 25 world championship points.

He now leads the way in the drivers' standings by 27 points from team-mate Nico Rosberg, which by any measure is a very nice cushion to recline on in the three weeks before the next race in Barcelona.

Hamilton takes home the largest of the four trophies arrayed below, which bear more than a passing resemblance to the FA Cup it must be said.

But that's another live page altogether.

Thanks for being with us. We'll see you in Spain.

Bernie Ecclestone's candid chat with Eddie Jordan provoked a response from many of you on Twitter earlier - and not a lot of it good.

If you missed the interview - or want to watch again - you can do so here.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Nico Rosberg said: "It was very strange for my brakes to fail two laps from the end. I didn't even get a warning, it happened in the middle of my braking zone. I couldn't even see Kimi in my blind spot so maybe I could have defended into turn two so I had no idea where he was. After such an exciting race it was very disappointed. But that is the way it is and it is onwards and upwards and I am happy to have been able to pass the two Ferraris.

"After such a disappointing start I was in full attack mode, I had to fight, I saw Lewis getting away and had two red cars in between I went for it and it worked out."

McLaren reserve driver Kevin Magnussen on Twitter: Good job to McLaren today. Getting close to points now. #stepbystep #BelieveInMcLarenHonda

Lewis Hamilton has been speaking to BBC Sport: "I felt quite comfortable, didn't feel under too much pressure from Kimi. I was feeling good then the brakes went long and I thought I had a brake failure, but I think Nico had something similar. I remembered a failsafe and that reset it, but I didn't push the brakes too much after that."

On his plans before the next race in Barcelona: "I'm leaving in like half an hour or something, back to Monaco where I will spend a couple of days back at home and then I start work on Wednesday. I'm excited to get back to Europe and see Roscoe and my sister and my mum."

Rachel T: Lewis looks like he is now off to win Wimbledon [he was decked out all in white post-race]. With his winning mentality, it could happen.

Bathembu: I believe Ferrari is capable of It. Both drivers possess great pace and racecraft. They need a car equal to the W06.

F1 Images: Lewis has great pace and determination, Nico has to come out with something else, today was a improvement from other races.

With three wins in four races, Lewis Hamilton is very much hitting the 2015 season out of the park - and it seems he knows it.

Today's race saw Kimi Raikkonen earn his first podium finish since the 2013 Korean Grand Prix.

He also claimed the fastest lap of the race, the 41st of his career to tie with Alain Prost for second on the all-time list. Michael Schumacher leads the way with 77.

Felipe Massa, P10 for Williams: "My car wouldn't switch on for the start, but then they changed a setting and it switched on. I started from the back of the grid and was gaining positions but unfortunately Maldonado hit my back in corner four and damaged something. It was a frustrating race."

Team boss Christian Horner: "We are now on our engine limit. That's three engines in four races."

Daniel Ricciardo's Renault engine exploded as he crossed the line today, and restrictions on the number of engines a team can use in a season is becoming a big concern for the team.

Daniel Ricciardo, P6 for Red Bull: "I drove well but it was a bit of a lonely sixth place. I think the team is getting there we are getting there, making improvements. The top three teams are out of reach but coming into the European season and I think we will find a bit more. The biggest gaps have been seen and I think they will only get smaller."

Eric Boullier, racing manager of McLaren: "We apologise to Jenson that we could not give him a reliable car. Hopefully for Barcelona we will have a new back end of the car and we can forget this weekend."

Fernando Alonso, P11 for McLaren: "I have to be realistic and I am happy with the race today. We has concerns and you saw with Jenson who did not even start the race. I was important to finish the race and get some laps done. We have an important three weeks ahead to increase the performance and reliability. But to finish the race more less competitively is the best news of the day."

Yesterday we asked you "what's up with Nico?" Today, because we're a contrary bunch, we're doing a U-turn and asking if he's got his mojo back after a battling drive today?

Even if the answer is yes, is a fully-firing Rosberg any match for Hamilton, who stayed well away from the Rosberg-Ferrari squabble today and is now 27 points clear in the title race?

And what of McLaren? We were more than sceptical of Alonso's claims that they'd be in the points by Barcelona, but boy did he show us. P11 today and upgrades to come for the next race. Can McLaren actually save their season?
