  1. Rosberg

    Race winner Nico Rosberg: "It was a great weekend for me here, of course everything is relative because of what happened in Paris.

    "It was a good challenge from Lewis but I was able to control the pace. We saw Lewis dropping off a lot with degradation and that confirmed it was important to take care of the tyres.

    "I am pushing now and I was pushing earlier in the season. I don't have an explanation for why now but just want to keep on going."

  2. Here's Mr Moustache. Lap it up my friend. Your facial hair is one of the winners of the day.

  3. Nico Rosberg receives his trophy as the carnival music hits. Lewis Hamilton finds his smile and sprays a sprinkling of champagne on to his team-mate.

    "Nico Rosberg's walk out on to the top spot was actually a little muted."

  5. Nico Rosberg's prize? He gets to share the moment with a bloke with a tremendous moustache. Apparently it's the Mercedes team member's 50th birthday (moustachioed man, not Nico).

    "Not to make excuses for Hamilton but the demands for the champion are greater in the off season. We will see a lot of Hamilton at award ceremonies and the like. I know from my old team-mate Mika Hakkinen he said he was exhausted."

  7. Lewis Hamilton is slower to remove his helmet, and isn't chatting. Rosberg is all smiles.

  8. Nico Rosberg stands on top of his Mercedes and raises a pair of clenched fists. You suspect he feels he is proving a point.

    "Nico is a happy man and he is ace-ing it right now."

    So the top five ends up exactly as it was on the grid.

    Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen and Valtteri Bottas.

  11. Someone's happy...

    Nico Rosberg: "Wooooooooooooooooooo. Yeah guys awesome."

    We're not sure how many 'Os' were in Rosberg's wooo there. It was quite a few though.

  12. It might not have been thrilling to watch, but you have to give Nico Rosberg credit for that run. It was perfect. Completely error-free.

    "Some vintage passes from Max Verstappen. He's got to be one of the drivers of the season!"   

  15. Nico Rosberg has six seconds on Lewis Hamilton going into the final lap.

  16. David Coulthard
    BBC F1 co-commentator

    "I think Ferrari have definitely given us an insight into their development programme, they are very much focused on next year. They have picked up a few wins, that was the target."

    Verstappen has tremendous feel on the brakes

  19. Vers

    Oh yes, he's done it. This is Max Verstappen's race. The 18-year-old continues to flourish.

    The Dutchman gets alongside Pastor Maldonado in the home straight and the Lotus can do nothing to stop Verstappen climbing into the points on Turn One.

    I'd have happily just watched a Max-cam all race.
