  7. Race-winner Nico Rosberg says: "Amazing day, a great battle with Lewis, who drove really well. I'm really happy with the win, what a place to do it.

    "An absolutely awesome crowd."

  8. "Ole, ole, ole, Nico, Nico," sing the fans in the stadium section.

    As Lewis Hamilton has just said, this crowd is like something from a football match.

  11. Nigel Mansell, the winner of the last Mexican Grand Prix back in 1992, is the man to conduct the podium interviews. Let's see what they have to say...

  12. Sombreros on, the drivers emerge onto the podium, Nico Rosberg taking a long-overdue leap onto the top step. That's his first win since Austria in June.

  13. Get involved #BBCF1

    Bernie Austin: This was a brilliant weekend for Nico. Hopefully he do more of this next season.

    Isaac Mares: Couldn't agree with DC more - great to see the aggression from Nico and he has to maintain that going forward.

  14. No first, second or third place caps here, avoiding any concerns about cap-gate: the sequel. Instead, it is sombreros. Of course.

  15. In the excitement it looks like Nico Rosberg left his helmet in his car, leading to a bit of a wait in the weighing in room as someone goes to find it.

    While they wait, Rosberg shakes Lewis Hamilton's hand after a good battle well fought.

  16. David Coulthard
    BBC F1 co-commentator

    "Nico has carried over an aggressive stance from last week and that has inspired him. Every session he has been on the money.

    "It is a thoroughly deserved victory, but Hamilton will have a few questions of his team about strategy."

  17. A grandstand location for Parc ferme as the top three cruise into the stadium section and come to a stop in front of the cheering fans. Nico Rosberg climbs on top of his Mercedes and laps up the applause.

    That win, Rosberg's fourth of the season, is a great response after the disappointment of losing out on the title to Lewis Hamilton last weekend.
