Brazilian Grand Prix Sunday

After the press conference, Verstappen tells Sky Sports F1: "The amount of risk he was taking, I don't think it's correct. Of course afterwards you can say I should give him room, but it's not usual you get taken out by a backmarker.

On his shoving match with Ocon: "We're all passionate about the sport, so it would be odd if I shook his hand. It was a stupid response from his side as well."

Sebastian Vettel: "All in all it was a bit of a tricky afternoon, not happy at all. Losing out on the constructors', and my race started bad and finished bad. We just didn't have the grip at the start, part of the game when you're on a harder compound. I had nowhere to go, Lewis and Valtteri worked together. 

"We were not quick enough today."

Horner again: "We just want to finish on a high. Daniel drove a fantastic race. His move on Bottas was sensational. What a performance by him.

"Max has driven with great control and discipline, we had the strategy right, it's just a crying shame. Our race pace was better than we even anticipated."

Force India's Otmar Szafnauer: "Esteban came on the radio to ask if he could unlap himself and we said sure, go ahead. We had a tyre advantage. Max was gently bringing his tyres in. We had a 1.5sec advantage, so we had to do it.

"He asked us if I can unlap myself – he was unsure."

Mercedes technical ace James Allison: "An amazing group of people, I only joined in the last bit, but the skill and dedication to get all those ducks lining up in a row season after season is just incredible.

"We thought we had the competition punched down so many times, but they just kept coming back at us this year. Even right now. It's been so desperately close, the differences are tiny."
