More from McLaren team boss Ron Dennis as he says he wants to keep Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso in 2016.

"Jenson is on a two-year contract and Fernando on a three-year contract. It's as simple as that," he says.

"I told Jenson on Thursday - probably too late - that I have no intention of exercising the option [to cancel his contract]."

Fascinating stuff from the McLaren pair, and there was an equally fascinating interview with McLaren boss Ron Dennis on BBC One just now.

He says McLaren are going up a "very steep learning curve" and insists Jenson Button will stay at McLaren in 2016.

"We have two drivers," he said. "We want both of them in the team and it is as simple as that. We will have a winning team."

Full interview coming up.

It is never good when you are lapped, never mind when you are a former world champion being lapped.

Jenson Button finished 16th and he sounded just as frustrated as Fernando Alonso in his post-race interview.

"We've got a lot of work to do," he said. "It is so tough for us because we are so used to fighting. Now it is not fighting it is like a Samurai warrior without his sword."

Asked by Lee McKenzie about his comments on the radio - he referred to racing a "GP2 engine" and said the car's performance was "very embarrassing" - Alonso said:

"You're obviously frustrated when you are overtaken on the straights. In corners other cars are braking late and making mistakes and you are perfect in the corners.

"On the positive side, we keep improving reliability and we didn't repeat the errors in Singapore."

There has been some uncertainty over the future of Fernando Alonsoat McLaren, and he has just been asked by BBC Sport's Lee McKenzie if he will still be driving for the team next year.

He replied: "Next year is what we are looking for. My intention is to stay for sure and we will win together, I'm sure."

He was asked directly if he will be racing in F1 next year and replied: "I don't know."

Fernando Alonso marked the 10th anniversary of his first world title by finishing 11th, but it was a day of frustration for the Spaniard, as he got into the points, but was unable to hold that position and vented a couple of times on team radio, calling it "embarrassing" after he was overtaken by a Sauber.

Mercedes' team boss Toto Wolff speaking to BBC Sport: "Lewis had a better start and stuck his nose in. It was a tough corner for both of them.

"It makes me particularly proud that we finished one-two (after Rosberg dropped to fourth) because we played two different strategies to get past Bottas and Vettel when we undercut them.

"Slightly relived is an understatement. We had a lot of issues through the race."

A good omen?

Lewis Hamilton reveals that he sang "Victory" in karaoke last night. It did the trick today.

"That's the one I'll be playing tonight," he says on the podium.

Third-placed Sebastian Vettel in the podium interviews: "It's my favourite race, I love the track and I love the fans. 

"Overall it was a fantastic race. The start was interesting - watching these two fighting in the first corner and I was able to take advantage of that. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the big trophy today.

"They are very difficult to beat." 

Nico Rosberg, who finished second: "Lewis just got a better start, fair play. It was great to fight back to second because fourth would not have been acceptable. It is also great for us as a team to be back here after Singapore.

"I had to win today, that didn't work out. Just have to try again next time."

Race winner Lewis Hamilton in the podium interviews: "I'm so happy right now. The team has done a fantastic job all weekend. I had a great start.

"For me to come here to a race where I used to watch Ayrton Senna drive, and match his career wins, it doesn't feel real at the moment.

"It was important for us to strike back. We didn't bring our 'A' game in Singapore and we had to bring it today."

National anthems sung, champagne sprayed. A standard post-race win scene but then there is a moment of awkwardness as the microphones don't work.

A quick bash at the top of them seems to do the trick.

Amy Brown: Yes! So happy. Well done, Lewis!

Wendy Pankhurst: Sublime win for Lewis Hamilton - though you did forget he was racing. Also managed fastest lap too!

Pete Naylor: Get in Lewis. Senna's record equalled and one step closer to another title...

Pits Take: Not a thrilling race, but not the worst - pretty standard. I was almost nodding off but that was due to the timing primarily...

Out come the three drivers onto the podium, Lewis Hamilton taking his place on the top step. A familiar position. Victory was his eighth of the season and increases his advantage over Nico Rosberg in the drivers' championship to 48 points.

"This has been a much stronger performance from Nico Rosberg. He lost out to Hamilton into Turn Two but the aggression he showed to pass Bottas, he just needs to show that against Hamilton."
