    Right, we are done with this live page for today. Thanks as ever for your company and contributions.

    After the chaos of Saturday's qualifying session it was perhaps expecting a bit too much to hope race day would deliver similar drama, and in the end we had to content ourselves with rather processional display of dominance by those two flying Mercedes cars.

    But that is not to underestimate the importance of this result in the title battle, or its significance in ramping up the pressure on Ferrari as the F1 circus heads to Singapore and a circuit that is expected to be ideally suited to the strengths of the Scuderia.

    Lewis Hamilton was superb all weekend, delivering a record-breaking pole on Saturday and following up with a win that takes him into the lead of the championship for the first time this season. He's peaking at just the right time, and a fourth world title is now tantalisingly close.

    And we can't close without a word for Daniel Ricciardo, who again demonstrated just what a superstar he is with a bullish, brave and entertaining drive from 16th to fourth place.

    We'll see you in Singapore.

  2. So farewell, Europepublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 3 September 2017

  3. Big decisions ahead for McLaren and Alonsopublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 3 September 2017

    Fernando Alosno has been asked by Sky Sports whether there will be an announcement this week on McLaren's engine supplier for next season, with Renault expected to replace Honda.

    "We'll see - I think it's an important week for McLaren to make some decisions. Hopefully we'll know something before Singapore.

    "I need to keep looking what possibilities there are for the future and hopefully make a decision in September."

    Daniel Ricciardo, P4, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was fun and I had some good overtakes.

    "I will give Raikkonen the credit - he raced clean and fair but I would have done that overtake on anyone. It doesn't matter who I overtake. I knew it was going to be hard once you got nearer the front because they are going quicker.

    "The tyres were feeling quite gooey at one point and I think there was a little contact on the first and second chicanes.

    "I think we will lap the field in Singapore so we will look forward to that!"

    Folojimi: 2017 championship is finely poised! I believe it is going down to the wires. Ferrari has been poor all weekend so great job by Vettel.

    Bananaman: If the Red Bulls didn't have grid penalties today there wouldn't have been a Ferrari on the podium

    Chamath de Silva: Easy 1-2 for Mercedes. Great drive by Ricciardo... Ferrari should be very concerned.
