Lewis Hamilton said it was still a great result to finish second behind Fernando Alonso and remain firmly in the title hunt.

Hamilton benefitted from the retirements of both Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel to move up to third in the drivers' standings, 21 points behind Alonso.

"I think it was still a great result and very happy with it," said Hamilton. "Of course some small mistakes but it was very tricky in the conditions out there I think Fernando did a fantastic job and they generally had a little more grip than us today.

"My tyres were shot at the end so it was really about bringing the car home and score as many points. So it is good for the championship and good for the team so I hope that in the next two races we can have some better results."
