'What a great day'published at 15:12 British Summer Time 17 September 2017
Lewis Hamilton's race engineer Bono: What an awesome drive mate. Stellar result. Can't wish for better than that.
Hamilton: What can I say guys? Fantastic job with the strategy. What a great day.

Jolyon Palmer's transponder has been playing up this afternoon and it has all become too much for the official timing computer, which has clearly decided the best way to deal with it is just to award him the win.
I think this should be allowed to stand. Hamilton has loads of wins.

That, stats fans, is Hamilton's 60th grand prix win.
Ricciardo comes across the line in second place for Red Bull, with the second Mercedes of Bottas in third place.
Fourth is Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz - his best ever result - with Sergio Perez in the Force India in fifth.
Renault's Jolyon Palmer also enjoys a career-best sixth place. Great for him on the weekend he learned he was being ditched by his team.

I think everyone was caught out by that! Our monitors looked like it was the last lap but Hamilton hasn't been fooled by it. He has kept it to the floor.

So, Hamilton will have completed 58 laps come the end of this race - three short of the target.

Hamilton passes the line with just five seconds left on the clock so he has to do another lap to see the chequered flag.
Actually, he needs to do another one after that!

I am hearing there might be a problem with Daniel Ricciardo. There is a suggestion of a brake issue but that isn't being confirmed by the team yet.

Hamilton leads by 4.2s from Ricciardo, who is 2.3 ahead of Bottas.
Then it's Sainz, Perez, Palmer, Vandoorne, Stroll, Grosjean, Ocon.

Lewis Hamilton is dominating and I think Mercedes must have found something overnight. Bottas pace is indicative that Mercedes have found something because Bottas was miles off Hamilton yet his pace is competitive now.

Seven minutes to go.
Hamilton leads by 4.3s from Ricciardo.
He's pacing this to the flag.
Magnussen also retirespublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 17 September 2017
An MGU-K issue in the Haas.
"Oh, I'm all in a fluffery-buffery now and very upset," says Magnussen.
OK, it was a bit more sweary than that.
