Good afternoon, all, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Brazilian Grand Prix. It seems like I've taken you through so many Mercedes front-row lock-outs so far this season, so here's another one - Nico Rosberg begins on pole (and picks up the ludicrous "pole position trophy" for his efforts) with Lewis Hamilton poised behind in second. Homeboy Felipe Massa is in third, with Valtteri Bottas in fourth - yes, a second row lock-out for the Williamses.

Highlights

The drivers are on to the podium as the German national anthem plays. Felipe Massa is waving to everyone. He's had a good day - as have we all. Thanks for your company this afternoon!

Rosberg sounds downbeat over the radio; Hamilton's team apologise for "the stop". Which stop? Suspect that drift and spin was ultimately more of a problem. Thumbs-up for Rosberg from Hamilton, which is probably as friendly as they're going to get.

Well, what a fascinating race! All to play for in Abu Dhabi for those Mercs.

71/71

And that's a win for Nico Rosberg! He's swiftly followed by Lewis Hamilton in second, and homeboy Massa takes the final podium spot. That's going to go down well, isn't it?

70/71

Well, looks like a Mercedes one-two...

69/71

Can Hamilton get that gap any smaller? Doesn't look like it. Rosberg looks set to hold on now.

68/71

Alonso is being kept out of the battle for fourth very effectively by his own team-mate, and finally he finds the power and direction to get past and move in on Vettel.

67/71

Lock-up from Hamilton, Raikkonen holds off Alonso, no team orders to favour Alonso - drama.

Smoke coming out of that Lotus now. Not good.

66/71

Grosjean's car is over at the side of the track. He tells the team he's had to stop.

65/71

Alonso still breathing down Raikkonen's neck and his team-mate is not moving over for him.

64/71

Hulkenberg on his fresh tyres is ready to challenge this pair anyway.

63/71

The two Ferraris are together on track now, with Raikkonen leading Alonso in sixth.

62/71

Fastest lap from Hamilton again this time round.

Button darts to get past Raikkonen in fourth but has to go wide to get past - and Vettel takes advantage of the opportunity to go with him as well.

61/71

Ten laps to go and Hulkenberg finally pits.

60/71

Track temp is down to 45 degrees now.

59/71

Rosberg very much knows "the other car" is there.

58/71

Hamilton is tucked in neatly behind Rosberg, who's holding him off.

57/71

And the gap between the leaders and the chasing pack is now half a minute. Ridiculous.
