Plenty of speculation over who will be in the STR car next year, and I don't think the boys did anything to secure themselves a seat today.

Button was best of the rest after a great second half of the season. Hamilton's retirement capped off a tricky season for him.

It wasn't a spectacular race to finish off with, but it had it's moments and was certainly better than some of the more recent events.

Fernando was very close out of turn five, so I covered the line into six, normally an easy place to block... I didn't want to drive through the debris, I had to back out of it and pull in behind Alonso. That was disappointing and a little bit unlucky but I didn't have the pace on the softer of the two tyres. Decided to put the harder tyre on for the last two stints and it worked pretty well for me, especially the last stint when I could hunt down Fernando. Able to make the pass but third was the best I could get."

I was able to pull a gap but very early got the call we had to manage a gearbox problem. I had to turn down the engine, shortshift, it was just getting worse throughout the race. I ended up using higher gears throughout the race. Nevertheless, Mark drove a fantastic race, he deserved to win. I don't really like calling this bad luck. Surely, if something like this happens, it's not in your hands... I think we had a pretty amazing season, and I think it would be over the top being upset now. I think we take this second place, this 1-2 finish for the team, which is great. It's been a phenomenal year and a very strong finish. We are all ready for the winter, looking forward to the break... come back as strong as this year at the beginning of next year."

Seb did a great lap for pole yesterday... That's a bit of a win which you'll take for sure, I've had enough bad luck and whatever you want to call it. Very important win for me and the team, again, to finish on a high. I enjoyed the last few laps to be honest, it's always nice when you can pit a bit later than people. Enjoyed doing the last few laps, it was a nice way to finish."

The gearbox had a problem from lap five. Phenomenal from him to get it to the end. Let's take nothing away from Mark Webber, he drove a phenomenal race today and thoroughly deserves that victory.

"Mark's had a tough year but he's kept his head down, he's kept working hard at it. He wanted to finish the year on a high, it's a great race to win, the final race of the year. He's been up against a teammate in the form of his life... that has to slightly put things into perspective."
