    Mercedes boss Toto Wolff on Sky Sports: "I'm so delighted for the team. We've changed a few engines this weekend and Lewis was able to climb back to third with the help of fortune and it's extremely good.

    "I am happy because we lacked pace yesterday. We kept on our path and it paid off. Once we were on the medium tyre we could stay ahead of Ricciardo on the soft.

    "With Lewis we were lucky but a great drive as well. Lewis has so many engines he could go well into next year. He had a sensational drive and not lot a lot of points lost and has engines in his pocket."

  3. 'A remarkable day'published at 15:09 British Summer Time 28 August 2016

    World championship leader Lewis Hamilton came from the back row to finish third. He says: "A big thank you to this crowd, they have been incredible and a big thank you to everyone for supporting me.

    "I have changed three engines so we are ahead of the others and that is great. It has been a remarkable day and a great race."

    More from Ricciardo: "It was cool. We took damage on the first corner but came back out and it was a race by myself but to keep Lewis behind was great."

    "Who drinks from a shoe?"

    Second-placed Daniel Ricciardo after compatriot Mark Weber drinks champagne from a shoe: "I think we just made our country even prouder."

    Race winner Nico Rosberg says: "It was a great weekend and I'm very happy with the result.

    "I understand some of you (fans) are disappointed and you wanted Verstappen here but he is only young, his time will come.

    "Congratulation to Lewis. From last to third must have been pretty impressive. It is great to get the win, it is a legendary track. Lewis starting at the back made it a lot easier and I'm sure he will back at Monza."

    We saw crashes, wheel to wheel action, fire, a massive crash...

    But I think my favourite moment of the day is Mark webber drinking from a shoe.

    Ricciardo offers Webber the opportunity to drink fizz out of his shoe.

    Webber says no.

    And then does it. Urgh!!!

    Pop the corks boys, get out the bubbly.

    Not too much interaction between Rosberg and Hamilton. Hamilton sprays a bit of fizz on to his team-mate.

    A more positive reaction for Rosberg as he raises the trophy above his head. Nice cheer for Ricciardo. And then the Brits make themselves heard for Hamilton's presentation.

    Not sure why Rosberg would get booed for.

    He drove superbly today, keeping his head when all those behind him were losing theirs intermittently.

    Hamilton heads out on to the podium with a big old smile on his face - he stays nine points ahead of Rosberg in the standings.

    Is that boos I hear for Rosberg from the crowd?

    I tell you what, Ricciardo is absolutely chuffed to bits. He's the bounciest man in that cool down room.

    Verstappen, by the way, finished 11th - disappointing on his de facto home track.

    Ricciardo enters the cool down room grasping an Australian flag - "plenty of Dutch ones but I found an Aussie one" he says into the camera.

    A jab at his team-mate Verstappen?

    Rosberg is congratulated by his team on the radio for a superb drive.

    He leaps out of the car and is greeted by the hugs and handshakes of Mercedes engineers, joyful under the Belgian sun.

    Rosberg is happy, he has his hat on - hip hip hip hooray.

    If you had given Lewis Hamilton third at the start of the race Hamilton would definitely have taken that.

    It was a good race for him, he was gifted a bit with everything else that was going on around him.
