Vettel gives his Red Bull a little stroke before running off to celebrate with his team.

Sandeep asks: "Whats special about Vettel's RBR car that it always lead by around 10 s its not a small lead."

If I knew that I'd get a job with Ferrari for the rest of the season...

Thanks for joining us for this race. I think it proved to be a little bit more exciting than a few people thought. The gap at the top is now 13 points after more impressive damage limitation from Alonso. We'll have driver reaction after the race so keep checking the website.

Lap 60

Vettel wins with the fastest lap on the final lap. Alonso is second and Webber holds onto third.

Button snatches fastest lap off Vettel with his final lap, not that it counts for much. Massa beats Raikkonen to the line but stops just after the finish line, presumably out of fuel.

Hulkenberg was eighth for Force India on home turf, Grosjean managed ninth on a hard-soft strategy and Senna took the final point in tenth.

Webber told he weathered the storm brilliantly.

I think Vettel just got a message saying "Fail 22", but he still looks okay at the front as he starts his final lap.

Hamilton is not close enough to try a move into turn four.

Hulkenberg has also stopped on track as Webber pushes Vettel down the pit lane, maybe he ran out of fuel too.

Raikkonen was still 0.6s off Massa as they crossed the line.

Lap 59

Hamilton has the gap down to 1.0s do will now get the DRS advantage, but he runs wide in turn three. He uses DRS but is too far off. That McLaren looks like a handful as he really tries to hustle it. One lap to go and one more chance for Hamilton.

Lap 58

Hamilton is still pushing and is told "we can get him". 1.2s is the gap and the McLaren is closing. But Webber is only 2.9s off Alonso so it actually all looks a little close out there. Apart from Vettel, who now looks safe, 10.6s down the road.

Lap 57

Vettel has upped his pace again compared to Alonso, who appeared to make a mistake at turn 13. The gap is now 10.8s.

It looks like Schumacher is going to retire after another terrible race.

Lap 56

Webber increases the gap to Hamilton now with it standing at 1.7s. It looks like his KERS might have come back.

For those asking, Raikkonen is still tucked up behind Massa with the gap now 0.6s. He asks when he can use full revs and is told to go to mixture five, so we might see a move soon.

Hamilton told to keep the pressure on Webber but the gap is stabilising at 1.4s.
