Lewis Hamilton:

Viva Mexico! This is honestly the best crowd we get anywhere. In our home country it’s always a great thing, but I don’t know, this here with the stadium is probably the best.

Sebastian Vettel speaking to Juan Pablo Montoya:

I was using a lot of sign language and using a lot of your language. You have to understand the adrenaline was pumping, I was putting him under pressure as our tyres were both really old. And then he left the track and didn’t give the place back. In the end I crossed the line and then was told to come up here, so it’s good.
