    Oh look, it's Eddie Jordan to do the interviews.

    I thought I could hear his shirt.

    Out they come on to the podium - and it's the German national anthem to greet a German one-two.

    Rosberg seems to accidentally poke himself in the eye during that conversation.

    He can drive a car at 200mph but can't mover his finger away from his face without sticking it in his pupil.

    Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel shake hands in the winners' room, which is endowed with very fancy sofas.

    Perez joins the party and Rosberg asks how he got third.

    "Kimi had a five-second penalty... but I passed him anyway."

    Nice Checo. Very nice.

    Rosberg gets out of his car, removes his helmet and stands atop his Mercedes - arms aloft.

    Great weekend for the German.

    He's embraced by his team, as is Sergio Perez by the Force India guys and gals.

    Everyone seems reluctant to give Rosberg the credit this year. In the past, Lewis Hamilton has been the more dominant, but everything that has been asked of Rosberg, he has delivered. He has been inch perfect in qualifying and inch perfect in the race and deserves to win.

    Nico Rosberg extends his lead at the top of the championship standings to 24 points over team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

    Force India tell Sergio Perez on the radio he has "done it in style".

    "Sorry for yesterday," is the reply, after his crash in third practice.

    Vettel, then Perez and Raikkonen follow. And then Hamilton crosses in fifth - five places higher than his grid position.

    Perez is gutsy. He skins Raikkonen going into Turn One of the final lap. He'll take third place outright.

    Perez will feel a sense of justice about this result. He finished qualifying second, but endured a five-place grid penalty for a gear box change.

    Meanwhile, Verstappen mirrors team-mate Ricciardo by going past Hulkenberg into P8.

    Angela Warburg:, external The radio ban is ridiculous! What happens if it leads to something serious happening. It's meant to be sport - getting the best result.

    Lap 50/51

    Perez is right up the rear end of Raikkonen. Would it be foolhardy to try and go past the Finn? Raikkonen has a five-second penalty remember, which would be enough for Perez to take third.
