Thierry Salvi, Renault: "Fourth and eighth is a very good achievement for the team after starting from the pit-lane and again demonstrates just how strong the team is. It was the last race of a long season, we didn't have any problems with the Power Units and were able to maximise them for the recovery. Dan's drive was especially impressive and he really does deserve to be on the Championship podium after a season like that. But my last words must go to Seb, who was racing with us for the final time. Each team member will remember a special moment they spent with him and the success we've achieved together over the years. He'll forever be an important part of Renault Sport F1's grand prix history."

Pat Fry: "First of all, we must congratulate Lewis Hamilton for a well-deserved second World Championship title. For us it was a complicated race from start to finish and our final result was a confirmation of our qualifying performance. Over all 55 laps, both Kimi and Fernando struggled with little reliability problems which affected their cars. Having gained two places at the start, we had to make the first stops very early because of tyre degradation. That put us back out in traffic and unfortunately, our management of the power units and the tyres meant it was difficult to make any overtaking moves. After such an intense last race now we turn all our attention to the work that awaits us, beginning with next week's test, aimed at getting started on next season as soon as possible."

Romain started from P18 on new super soft compound tyres. He remained on super soft tyres for a pit lane drive-through penalty at the end of lap one, then changed to new soft compound tyres on laps 8 and 21. Pastor started from P15 on new super soft compound tyres. He changed to new soft compound tyres on lap 7 before parking his flame-sporting car on lap 26.

Federico Gastaldi, Deputy Team Principal: "2014 won't go down as a memorable season in terms of results for Enstone, but it will be a year we remember for really testing our resolve and strengthening our character. Everyone at the track and at Enstone has fought all the way, despite the lack of results. We are determined to come back stronger in 2015 and everything is in place to enable this. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes for their titles in 2014; both driver and team set a very high standard, so we know our goals for the future."

Nick Chester, Technical Director: "Firstly, we must thank Renault Sport F1 for all the good times we have enjoyed over the many years of our relationship together. It wasn't quite the send-off we wanted, with disappointment for Pastor who suffered a Power Unit failure. He was running strongly in the race and our predictions show he would have finished quite closely to Ferrari, so close to the points. Romain struggled a little bit more on this first set of soft tyres so we opted for an early next stop, which meant a longer final stint. He did a very good job considering the penalties he had to serve early in the race. No doubt it's been a tough season from which we have learnt a lot. We are already fully focused on 2015 and aim to come back much stronger next season."

Simon Rebreyend, Renault Sport F1 track support leader: "Our final race with Lotus F1 Team was a mixed affair, with Romain coming back strongly after starting from the back and serving his drive-through penalty on lap two. We changed some of the PU components before the weekend and everything went according to plan on that side of the garage. The fuel consumption was quite high but we were able to manage it. Unfortunately Pastor's PU suffered a problem mid-race that led to his retirement. We're still looking into what happened and will undoubtedly learn something from it ahead of next season. Finally, I must say a huge thank you to 'Team Enstone' with whom we have enjoyed an incredibly strong relationship since 1995. We wish them all the best."

Today, Jenson once again drove a fast and intelligent race. He made a good start, slotted into fourth place and then battled hard against Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso, eventually finishing fifth.

Kevin started ninth, but suffered first-lap contact with Adrian Sutil - an incident that damaged the right-hand side of his car. Despite then showing strong early pace on the Prime tyre, he struggled for performance during his middle stint on the Option. That compromised his final run to the finish, and he crossed the line 11th.

Eric Boullier, Racing Director: "Jenson drove a strong race, securing a fine fifth place by the finish, having managed his tyre wear consummately all afternoon despite enjoying a spirited dice with Fernando [Alonso] at around half-distance.

"On a different strategy, having sustained a degree of car damage during first-lap contact with Adrian, Kevin kicked off his race with a long stint on the Prime, during which he also battled Fernando, holding him off capably for many laps.

"Kevin eventually pitted on lap 21, and, on Options, proceeded to manage his tyre wear almost too well, for his rubber was still in good fettle at the end of that stint; in hindsight, perhaps we should have instructed him to push a bit harder, which he easily could have done, but it's easy to say that after the event and, anyway, that's racing.

"In his final stint, back on Primes, Kevin's pace was good again, but it was too late to make much difference and unfortunately he ended up 11th.

"So, at the end of a long and arduous season, we immediately turn our attention to the future. But, before doing so, I want to say one more thing about the present, and even touch briefly on the past. Today we raced for the last time with Mercedes-Benz engines, and I want to congratulate that venerable company on its dual triumphs this season - constructors' world championship and drivers' world championship - and to thank our old friends at Stuttgart and Brixworth for the past 20 seasons, during which McLaren and Mercedes-Benz enjoyed so much success together.

"Last but not least, on behalf of all at McLaren, I want to say 'bravo' to Lewis, who began his Formula 1 career at McLaren and whom so many at Woking still regard with such affection.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday, here in Abu Dhabi, we'll be testing our hybrid McLaren-Honda MP4-29H/1X1 for the first time, following our filming day with the car at Silverstone last week. It's an exciting time for both McLaren and Honda, and for all who sail and will sail in the good ship McLaren-Honda. Ahead of us are many weeks of hard graft, but you may be well sure we're up for the task. Bring it on!"

Vijay Mallya, Team Principal & Managing Director: "Today we saw a captivating race that demonstrated how far we have come this season. Everyone in the team performed superbly, from the team on the pit wall that devised a very effective strategy, to the pit-crew who pulled off four good stops. Equally, the drivers were superb and Nico and Sergio didn't put a wheel wrong on track. We battled with World Champions today and we beat them fair and square - we finished with both cars ahead of the Ferraris and one Red Bull. Nico's penalty was harsh and it surely cost him fifth place, which would have been thoroughly deserved. Even though tonight's result was not enough to claim back fifth in the championship, we can look back to our season with pride. We scored the highest points tally in the history of the team, 155 points, and we finished with both cars in the points on ten occasions. I want to congratulate everyone in the team, both here at the track and back in Silverstone, for their effort this season, and encourage them to take this year as a spur for even greater things to come in 2015."

Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "First of all, I want to congratulate Lewis Hamilton on winning the title, and the Mercedes team for an impressive dominant and outstanding season. Coming to our team, 15th and 16th in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix are typical of the 2014 season, which was a huge disappointment. Everyone within the team worked very hard, but we could not achieve the results we aimed for. We were not able to score points, which has never happened before in the history of the team. There are many reasons for this. However, it does not make sense to point fingers. We will draw our conclusions and will initiate the right actions. We will move on and use our entire energy to bring the team back to where it was before, and where it should be. I want to thank every member of the team - mechanics, engineers, the employees at the factory and our drivers. A special thanks goes to Esteban Gutierrez who was part of this team for five years, first as an affiliated driver and afterwards for two years as a race driver. We were with him through good and bad times. Esteban was always loyal to the team. Adrian surely expected more from this season, as we also did. With the issues we had with the C33 he was not able to deliver results which we as a team and he wished for. Giedo van der Garde did a great job as test and reserve driver. We thank all of them, and wish them all the best for the future."

Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "It started off quite well with Adrian gaining some positions at the start, but in Turn 7 on the first lap he was hit by another driver and lost some places. When he was then stuck in traffic behind slower cars we opted for an early pit stop, which originally was not planned. He was then on an three stop stragety. In hindsight that maybe cost him some time. However, looking at the other car that had a clean two stop strategy, it didn't really change a lot as our cars finished in 15th and 16th. Once again our performance was not good enough to achieve more. This race marks the end of a very difficult season. However, as a team we never gave up, and I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. As from tomorrow we will switch our focus to the 2015 season."

"This season is over but now we have to start working towards the next one. Clearly our aim is to improve still further and be more competitive next year. The 2015 Melbourne Grand Prix is just around the corner."

Ricardo Penteado (Renault Sport F1 track support leader): "After a fantastic qualifying session we were all really looking forward to finishing 2014 on a high. But unfortunately Daniil suffered a PU-related issue that put him out early. We'll need to look at the data and find out what happened, but I'd still like to apologise to the team for the problem. Jean-Eric suffered no such problems but didn't quite have the pace to finish in the points. Overall it's been a tough season but we'll aim to come back stronger in 2015."

After a difficult start for Valtteri he fought his way back through the field whilst Felipe maintained position in third. Felipe managed his tyres well in every stint and after overtaking Nico Rosberg began closing the gap to leader Hamilton. The team's first double podium finish since 2005 secured third in the Constructors' Championship with Valtteri fourth and Felipe seventh in the Drivers' Championship.

Claire Williams, Deputy Team Principal: I am exceptionally proud of the team today, to go from P9 last year to P3 in 2014 is amazing. The work to turn the team around has been hard, but I am so happy to see the smiles back on the faces of the people that work here. This is just the first step in a great future for Williams. We must congratulate Mercedes on winning both Championships and thank Mercedes HPP for all their effort throughout the season.

Rob Smedley, Head of Performance Engineering: It was a fitting end to the season. The team has come on over the year in an incredible fashion. To get our best result of the season in the final race is a fitting tribute to all the work we have done. It's been over ten years since Williams was last P3 in the Constructors' and that is testament to the effort that the guys have made, many of whom have been here through the tough times are now reaping the benefit of their commitment.

The 16th win for Mercedes this season has broken the all-time record of 15 previously held by Ferrari and McLaren. Hamilton also becomes the first Mercedes world champion since Juan Manuel Fangio, having claimed 11 victories in total this year.

During the closing stages of the race, Hamilton was challenged by Williams driver Felipe Massa, who used a different two-stop strategy to him. Massa started on the supersoft from fourth on the grid, switched to the soft, and then ran the final 13 laps on the supersoft again, which was around a second per lap faster than the soft.

This enabled the Brazilian to close up to less than three seconds behind Hamilton at the finish, while his Williams team mate Valtteri Bottas completed the podium. Bottas used a supersoft-soft-soft strategy.

After being excluded from qualifying, both Red Bull drivers started from the pitlane, adopting a similar soft-soft-supersoft strategy. This helped Daniel Ricciardo to finish fourth, having risen as high as third, and set the fastest lap of the race. Ricciardo was also the highest-placed finisher to start the race on the soft tyre, with all but six drivers beginning the grand prix on the supersoft.

With falling track and air temperatures, the circuit tended to get faster as the race progressed, meaning that the teams had to monitor tyre wear and degradation carefully. Both compounds performed exactly in line with expectations, allowing drivers and teams to push to the maximum.

Paul Hembery: "Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton for winning the title, and also to Nico Rosberg, who provided him with fantastic opposition all year. The tyres performed as we expected them to here, in line with the data we had collected before the race. We saw a wide variety of interesting strategies at work today, with Massa showcasing the speed of the supersoft at the end of the race, and Ricciardo putting in a great performance from the back after starting on the soft. It's been a fascinating end to a compelling season, but we're already turning our attention to 2015 as we embark on the final test of the season here next week on Tuesday and Wednesday, where some our new tyres will make their debut."
