How the Malaysian GP unfolded

Have a listen to Sebastian Vettel show his frustration at being held up by McLaren's Fernando Alonso - and that's before his collision after the chequered flag...

Max Verstappen becomes the fifth different driver to win a race this season.

That's the first time there has been five different winners in a single season since 2013.

Thomas Knights: Not got much mention but Vandorne drove a very very good race. Well ahead of alonso.

No action on Vettel-Stroll incident.

Max Verstappen will go down in history as the winner of the last Malaysian Grand Prix.

He's the 11th different winner of the race and the second Red Bull driver to win it in as many years after Daniel Ricciardo's triumph last year.

Mercedes driver Valttei Bottas: "It's been a difficult weekend. I didn't have any pace, that was the main issue. When I was trying harder, I struggled more. We need to get our stuff together. We know the pace is somewhere, we just need to unlock it."

When the team is struggling with its car - and Mercedes has this year - they need both their drivers. In Lewis Hamilton they have someone who can do that. In Valtteri Bottas, they have someone who appears to struggle to do that. He's his own biggest critic and he'll be painfully aware how this looks from the outside. He's not supporting Hamilton's' title bid in quite the way the team need him to.

Jos Verstappen, father of Max: "He really deserved this win. He drove brilliant. You could see the car was looking strong. He had a chance to overtake, he did and he controlled the situation.

"This is always very good, very welcome. He deserved it and I think it's good like this. I am very happy."

Sebastian Vettel has given his take on the incident with Lance Stroll to Sky Sports: "I went to the outside to pick up a bit of rubber. I think Lance wanted to do the same but wasn't looking and I was already there."

Lance Stroll on his collision with Sebastian Vettel: "I don't know. It was a strange incident. I was driving very slowly, back into the pit lane. The race wasn't going on so it wasn't intentional for either of us. He came around the outside like the race was still going. It all happened very quickly. When the stewards look into it you always hope nothing happens."

That strange incident involving Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll after the chequered flag is under investigation.

Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third: "At the start, it looked like Mercedes were struggling. I was behind Bottas for a few laps and tried to get him as soon as possible.

"Seb came so quick at the end, I felt like I was going to have handful, but he only had one attack. Max drove well all weekend. It was a good race for the team."

A 34 point lead for Lewis Hamilton with five races remaining.

Sebastian Vettel loses grand on Hamilton but without that superb drive it could have been much worse.

Going to need everything to go his way in the remaining race, though.

Lewis was very gracious in defeat - he applauded Max on the slowing down lap and was the first one to congratulate him when he got out of the car. He's in a very good place in the championship standings.

Lewis Hamilton, who finished second: "Big congratulations to Max. Happy birthday, he did a fantastic job today.

"The race was a tough one. They had the upper hand on us today. I feel good, but we have some work to do with the car. We didn't have the pace this weekend. We have to keep pushing."

Malaysian Grand Prix winner Max Verstappen: "I think in the beginning, the car felt good and I saw Lewis was struggling a bit more with traction, so I used my battery a bit more. He has more to lose than me in terms of the championship. From then on, I could race my own race. It's a very tough race and it was incredible to win."

It's former Red Bull driver Mark Webber to do the podium interviews. Here's what they've got to say.

Lewis Hamilton will reflect on extending that points advantage and that fact that, with five races remaining, he's 34 points ahead of his title rival. He's in a very happy place.
