Sebastian, fourth time of asking and you finally convert one of those poles into a race win.
Sebastian Vettel: Yeah, it is about time I would say. It wasn't the easiest way so far but what happened, happened. We cannot change it but it is good to be back and on a circuit where we didn't expect to be that strong, to be quick enough all the time in the race to slightly pull away, find the gap, and then carry the car home. It wasn't as easy as expected. When I saw the safety car board it was just on the main straight and I thought this will be tough as the cars that follow might get a stop for free. But I was lucky the first couple of cars were in the same situation that I was and after the safety car I had a huge lock up into last corner trying to brake as late as I could. The tyres when you go around slowly and after the pit stop you never really have the chance to bring them up to temperature. They were colder than I expected and a big lock up but I could stay in front. After that I had a bit of a flat spot but it was alright. Obviously a lot of laps to do but I tried not to do push too hard. When I got the message that Lewis had to go to the pits to get his drive-through I backed off a bit and finally we are back here. It is good to get a lot of points. It is good for the championship and very pleased with today. I think the guys can be extremely proud. Another tough weekend for them. As I said already yesterday, very little sleep but it pays off, so we keep our head in and focus on the next one. It is our home grand prix. I think it is more or less everybody's home grand prix but it is good for the team. We had a sensational race weekend last year and we try to repeat that. One more thing. Most important of today is the fact that Mark (Webber) had quite a big shunt but he is fine. It shows that the cars get safer and safer but still there is a lot of risk. I am happy. I asked on the radio, so I am happy to hear he is all good.

Lewis, you had your drive through penalty. Talk us through what happened when you saw the safety car coming out and you were side-by-side on the track.
Lewis Hamilton: I don't remember too much about it to be honest. I was coming round turn one and literally as I got to the safety car line I saw that the safety car was pretty much alongside me. I thought I had passed it, so I continued and that was it.

You certainly gave it your all trying to make up for that penalty. But hunting Sebastian down did you ever get the feeling you could close him or was it a fruitless chase, did you think?
LH: For me from the start we obviously touched at turn one and I had a bit of a vibration from then on and so the worry was that something was perhaps damaged at the front and also it was a long time on those tyres. I was really trying to look after the car. At certain stages it looked like he was slowing down, so I tried to close the gap but he was able to react to that, so therefore I just tried to bring the car home in one piece. There is nothing worse than getting the whole way through the race and something happening at the end. And like Sebastian said, it is great to hear that Mark is fine. I haven't seen the incident but it is good to see that he is well.

Jenson, from seventh on the grid a podium finish. Maybe unexpected. Certainly very welcome for you but maybe a frustrating race as well behind the BMW Sauber of Kamui Kobayashi?
JB: Yeah, I don't think it is a surprise considering the speed but starting seventh and finishing third I was definitely helped out by the safety car. The safety car lights came on just as I entered the pits, so it was perfect for me whereas these guys had to go around another lap. That was good. But then I got stuck behind Kobayashi for the rest of the race. His pace was okay. He was pulling away from the rest of the field but you can't overtake around here. I was running pretty low downforce, so the straight-line speed was good but you just couldn't get the exits. I couldn't get the exits I wanted. As soon as he pulled in I had three laps before the end of the race when I could have some fun and see what lap time I could do with the car, so a great finish. I also had a really fun first lap in the race. Pretty crazy I must say with Robert Kubica and Mark. Three abreast into turn eight but it was great. No touching and a really good battle. A great result for the whole team to get a second and third. We weren't quite good enough to win the race here. Red Bull were and Sebastian did a great job. Germany one England nil at the moment but we will see what happens in a little while. But a great day for us. Also I will add to the comments these two have made about Mark. That was a horrific accident. I am sure we all saw on TV. Something similar happened in GP2 and very happy he could walk away from that. It doesn't ever get much worse than that, so I am glad he is okay.

Just try and explain some of the confusion for us when the safety car did come out as yourself and eight other drivers are being investigated by the stewards for the lap time that you did on your way into the pits.
JB: I had the safety car light and the safety car warning from the team when I went round the last corner of the lap which is a full speed corner. I went round that corner, slowed up, obviously as you slow up anyway after that corner. The problem is where I was on the circuit. It was at the end of the lap. I couldn't slow up because as soon as I got the warning I would have had to hit the brakes and you don't want to do that around a high speed corner. But we will see what happens later after the race.
