That's it from us then. It may not have been a thriller, but we're so glad you could join us. Where else would you actually want to be anyway?

Fernando Alonso might have wanted to be elsewhere - check out #PlacesAlonsoWouldRatherBe on Twitter for a great laugh - but we'll see you when the circus rolls into Abu Dhabi.

Here's our next and final stop of the 2015 season. Stick it in your diary.

Max Verstappen was beyond any doubt so far ahead as my driver of the day. Drive clean, be committed, plan your attack early on and he did that brilliantly I love watching him drive."

Sebastian Vettel, who finished third: "For us, we were trying to put them under pressure. we tried something different with strategy, I don't think it was a bad call, it was the right thing to do and in the end we look very strong. The gap was still there, but closer than in previous races.

"It is a good feeling to be a lot closer but still, being behind is never where you want to be. This time last year was very different, it was a step into the unknown but I am very thankful for the welcome from the team. A lot of change went on so it was good we had success at the start of the year to boost the whole project. I have hopes for next year, but Mercedes are strong, they know what they are doing but to cut a long story short, we are coming."

Lewis Hamilton, who finished second: "I think I was looking for all options. It is not just about racing, strategy comes into it but at the end of the day Nico drove a fantastic race. He has been doing a fantastic job in qualifying. Of course I have to think in my mind what is the progress of the season, what has been the changes. Some changes to our car since Singapore seems to have shift the direction of the waves so I just need to see why that is and get back on it.

"I was pushing like crazy, though. I had had nothing left."

Eddie's off again...

Some deep stuff from Nico Rosberg here: "It is a world that changes all the time, you need to adapt, it never stays the same.

"They make in the factory whatever they think is the fastest but you can influence the small bits and pieces when the car gets to the circuit. That is going better.

"I am just enjoying the individual races. I want to kickstart it to next year by ending this one a positive note."

Nico Rosberg has a bit of a joke to begin with: "It is an honour [to have as many wins as David Coulthard], that was my life's target.

"I had the pace today. I am happy with that this weekend.

"I have been working at it. I have been pushing hard to try and improve. I have worked at everything and it is paying off. I am driving quicker now. There is not one specific thing. I am driving better than ever."

Nico Rosberg is told of Niki Lauda's theory that his improvement is psychological.

"It's not a head thing," he says.

So that scuppers that theory. What does Niki Laudu know about motor racing anyways?

Mercedes' non executive chairman Niki Lauda: "First of all drivers have problems with their heads. Lewis had the better start but now Nico is back. It is a head thing, if you feel happy you go quicker. Whoever wins the last race has a little benefit going into December." 

Careful with your driver there Mercedes. Nico Rosberg perches on the floor to have some photos taken, and then gets up with a distinct limp. Just a touch of cramp though. More water, less champers, Nico.

"McLaren need to get their heads together and, with their partners, deliver a package."

McLaren's Jenson Button, who finished 15th: "No-one wants to be a lap down, but there were some positives in terms of next year. It does feel like we are going in the right direction."

Coulthard has also just made the outlandish claim that Emus cannot walk backwards.

Turns out it's true. Is there anything David does not know?

"Kimi Raikkonen is the fans favourite, he has a huge following, but he was massively behind again this afternoon. He is performing like a number two."

Suzi Perry, David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan are forced to move Forum on down the pit lane as a cheeky Ferrari engineer gets his drilling on.

You can watch on the Red Button and online.

Nico Rosberg's first season in F1 was 2006, when he competed for Williams and look at the hair he had then, just look it. It's like something out of Dawson's Creek.

Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, who finished sixth: "We have secured fifth in the constructors championship. That shows the progress we are making. All heading in the right direction."
