Hamilton, though, was still clearly not impressed with Nico Hulkenburg with regards to the clash between the two that ended Hamilton's race. "The dude did not even come and say sorry," he said. "That is what happens when you are racing with the less experienced."
BBC F1 chief analyst Eddie Jordan "Mark Webber has played a hugely important role. He has almost become forgotten but he has played an important role as a team-mate and he needs to be complimented."
The new world champion says that his Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber actually squeezed him towards the wall at the start which is why he dropped so far back.
This world championship victory means Sebastian Vettel becomes only the third driver to win three titles in a row, joining Michael Schumacher (2000-04) and Juan-Manuel Fangio (1954-57) in the history books.

I was amazed when they said a photographer had taken a picture of Vettel's car and that it had been sent to Red Bull, who printed it out for Adrian Newey to assess the damage :camera
Love the last photo, with debris everywhere, and Vettel facing the wrong way. He did a great job to finish 6th with a damaged car from last place after that shunt.
