Feature: Abu Dhabi GP - Our Post-Race Quotes

Frances Fry - "As the last event of the season I wasn't looking forward to this race being over. If I had my way there would be races every weekend but teams need breaks as much as you and me. 

Abu Dhabi sure sent the season out with a bang! From lights out positions were being battled for. Most recognisably out front as Hamilton, who qualified second, overtook his teammate and championship rival, Nico Rosberg, who had qualified on pole. For a few laps, the final battle was exactly how fans wanted it. They were both after that win. However, not too far into the race, Rosberg reported power loss and the team informed him there had been a failure in his ERS, giving him a loss of 160 horse power. Looking at this figure, it's no surprise Rosberg ended up finishing in 13th place, lapped by Hamilton. 

With only  several laps left Mercedes told Rosberg that they had cleared a gap in his garage for his car and for him to retire it. Rosberg told them he would like to finish the race and he went on struggling to keep places. By pushing on Rosberg displayed his true commitment not only to the team, but to himself. It was very admirable. 

However, you cannot deny Hamilton of his victory. He won 11 of the 19 rounds this year and he deserved the title as much as Rosberg, even though he didn't really have to fight for his final win."

Amy Hawk - "What a wild last race. First off - My congratulations to Lewis, Felipe and Valtteri! What a splendid way to their end of the season. Mercedes did such a great job this year, with multiple strong performances all season.

Force India also had a spectacular last race with both drivers finishing in the top 10. I wish the same could have happened for Sauber. They tried so hard all season, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

It's quite a shame that we didn't get to see too much of a battle between Lewis and Nico (Rosberg) - As Nico had so many severe car issues.. But overall, it's been a great season and Abu Dhabi is one of my favourite tracks.

I'm already looking forward to next year. Cheers!"

Feature: German GP - Our Post-Race Quote

Amy Hawk (F1Insider78) - "First of all, I'd like to congratulate Nico Rosberg for winning at his home race. He gave an absolute incredible drive to take the win. Also congratulations to Valtteri and Lewis for their podium finishes. Overall it was a very entertaining and suspenseful race and I saw a lot of true wheel-to-wheel racing which is always great. 

Force India had a tough race, but fought hard and came away with another good handful of points. I believe they will achieve more great results in Hungary. As for Sauber, there was an unfortunate event with Adrian spinning out when he was so close to points. As for Esteban, he finished the race in a positive position and of course, they must take the positivity to the next race.

The accident between Kevin (Magnussen) and Massa was obviously a very seious thing. We don't enjoy seeing accidents happen and of course, you're instantly worried about the drivers involved. Luckily no one was injured. I am now looking forward to the coming race at the Hungaroring. It's one of my favourite GP's and the track is beautiful. It's also the last race before the Summer Break, so hopefully everyone will come out of it with good results."

Feature: Spanish GP - Our Post-Race Quote

Amy Hawk, F1Insider78 - "I think the race was quite entertaining and first I'd just like to say congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on his 4th consecutive win. That's a huge accomplishment. Force India had a strong performance and the team got another double-points finish, so I'm very happy with that. It's a shame, really that Sauber is struggling at the moment. Both drivers, (Esteban & Sutil), really do have a lot of potential and motivation to get some points. I really hope things get better for the team.

I heard Maldonado now has a total of 4 penalty points after his contact early on in the race with Marcus Ericsson. I'm not sure how long the stewards are going to put up with the way Maldonado has been acting in the car. It's very distracting to the other drivers. Other than that, another good race. In-Season testing starts Tuesday and then we have a week and a half before Monaco. It's always a huge event, so I'm excited for it. I'd love to see Perez and Hulkenberg finish in the top 5 at Monte Carlo. It'd be great."

F1Insider Feature: Post-Race Quote

"Well, I want to first congratulate Hamilton on an amazing win and Nico in Second. But to be honest, the biggest congratulations goes to Checo (Perez), for his podium finish. I'm very proud of him and Force India. They fought the whole way through and it's great to see such good results.

The situation between Maldonado and Gutierrez is very worrying. Maldonado has a very dangerous driving-style and I don't think the 5-Place-Grid-Penalty is enough for what he did to Esteban. I was beyond relieved to see him (Esteban), get out of the car without injury and I hope he's feeling okay. That was probably one of the worst accidents I've seen since Spa back in 2012. Driver safety is very important and I would've thought Maldonado would get a race ban for China, but sometimes things don't work the way they should.

I'm very looking forward to the teams getting to Shanghai for the next GP. I'm hoping Force India can keep their pace. We'll see what happens!" - Amy Hawk from Formula1Insider78

F1Insider Special: P1 & P2 After Quotes.

"What we've seen today is that most teams are getting the hang of things and getting better at taking care of the problems that occur with the cars. There's no promise that certain cars will finish or not finish the race on Sunday. It's touch and go at the moment.

   Force India looks strong and I'm happy about that, being a part of the Force India family, we're not overly nervous, but we don't want to be overly confident. Like Checo said, there are areas that need to be improved. We'll see how things go tomorrow. I'm a huge supporter in that team and I want things to work out well.

   Mercedes and Ferrari are also looking well-shaped so far and it is nice to see Redbull not having as much trouble as they had in testing. Williams could really be back this year and it would be sweet relief for Massa to get a win. As for the others, there's things that need to be sorted out.. I'm sure things will fall into place after a few races. Everything is important right now and everything needs to work properly. Hopefully enough cars finish Sunday to fill up the top 10 points positions."
