Summary

Status: Disconnected
But that's our live coverage done for the day. See you from Brazil!

Thanks for tuning in!
Podium celebrations to follow.
Brief handshake between Rosberg and Hamilton.
Pirelli sombreros for the podium, of course.
"Nico, Nico, Nico," sings the crowd.
Delight for Rosberg as he celebrates in front of a packed grandstand.
Rosberg regains second place in the standings with this win, his fourth of the season and the 12th of his carer.
"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah," Rosberg shouts on the team radio.
A disappointing eighth for Perez. Verstappen in ninth and Grosjean completing the top 10.
Kvyat in fourth ahead of Ricciardo, Massa and Hulkenberg.
Hamilton finishes second, with Bottas completing the podium for Williams.
Nico Rosberg wins the Mexican Grand Prix!
The Mercedes staff crosses the pitlane to climb onto the pit wall.
Rosberg very much in control as he enters the final lap of the race.
But Martinsville is still going on and that sounds decent.
We have to be honest: Not the most exciting race, especially after Austin.
Two laps to go.
Meanwhile, Massa is told that Ricciardo is struggling on tyres.
Our resident conspiracy theorist in the office is noting that the Mercedes duo are not exactly getting much TV time, despite running close. Make of that what you will.
But Rosberg, as expected, responds: 1:20.512.
A 1:20.772 for Hamilton, who is two tenths away from being able to use the DRS.

"Okay, Daniel, I know that's difficult, try and keep up with Kvyat if you can, it will give us DRS."

But that ship seems to have sailed already - Kvyat is 1.8s ahead.

Five laps left.
Perez running in eighth and, disappointingly for his fans, behind teammate Hulkenberg.
Bottas in a lonely third now. He can't keep up with the Mercedes, but he's faster than the Red Bulls.
"Felipe, eight more laps to go, let's keep creeping up on those Red Bulls," Massa is told. The Red Bulls, meanwhile, have properly dropped off from Bottas.
Maldonado nearly in the wall. Nice save...
Eight laps to go.
Ericsson has overtaken Sainz for P12.
Both Red Bulls are on soft tyres. Bottas on mediums.
Bottas has a small gap to the Red Bulls, with Ricciardo now right behind teammate Kvyat.
"Jenson, Perez is P8. He is on 41-lap-old primes and holding everyone up here. There could be action."
Rosberg opens a 1.3-second gap to Hamilton, who seems unable to stop the German today.
"Felipe, both these Red Bulls are vulnerable," Massa is told.
As the replay shows Rosberg going off the track. But this time he has managed to keep the lead.
The Sauber driver retires.
"My brakes are finished," Felipe Nasr confirms.
Jenson Button was not kidding.
Nasr stopped on track. Yellow flags on Sector 3.
No dramas in the restart, as most drivers have done well to keep their positions.
