@fernando I should have been on the podium. I know that on the many occasions that I was faster than you Michael, you were always willing to move out of the way.

Given you are the greatest driver in history Michael I will be sorry to see you retire. I am glad that all the things you taught me helped me to beat you comfortably for the last three years.

@mschumi I honestly think I would not have gloriously claimed the first win for Mercedes if it were not for you Michael, and given you have been improving every year there is a chance that next year you would have been even closer to my pace.

@mschumi Michael, I know it must be difficult to hear all this speculation about Lewis taking your seat. Although somehow I will likely beat you in the championship for the third year running, I really hope you stay with the team in 2013 so I can continue to learn from you.

@mschumi Given all the help you've given me Michael I would be willing to help you learn the regulations so this doesn't happen again.

@mschumi Actually Michael, having learned from your invaluable teaching it was I who ended Mercedes win drought and brought the first victory for a Silver Arrow since the days of Sir Stirling.

Congratulations on getting the first podium of your comeback Michael. You deserved it considering you had all of our technical failures this season, meaning I had scored the only podiums for the team.

I consider myself lucky to have learned from you Michael, and that I ended Mercedes' win drought, and finished every race. Given your status as team leader it would be great if you could overcome all your problems and pull off this victory to remind everyone else of your greatness.

@mschumi I can only hope to emulate your brilliance on street circuits, and having reminded everyone of your mastery of Monaco it was a shame you were demoted, even if it meant I started on the front row. I stand by my comments that now we have what I consider the best car, I think we can win every race.

@mschumi I remember your period of dominance Michael and I aspire to achieve the same. The great thing about all these different winners is that I finally broke my duck, although I know it must have been a difficult day for you when I was the hero of the hour in China.

@Williams As another ex-employee I was delighted to see you win Frank, and I can understand how you feel given I myself recently ended Mercedes' 57 year win drought.

Speaking of vindications I am glad the stewards saw no reason to punish me for my perfectly reasonable defensive driving on Sunday.

@mschumi Thank you Michael, it is an honour to finally be a member of the exclusive club of Grand Prix winners, and to now be considered a peer by someone of your stature.

@mschumi My hope is that this has opened the floodgates Michael, so I can very soon increase my tally and maybe one day, in some small way, emulate your level of success.

@mschumi I heard the poor guy was devastated Michael, and I thought it was really generous of you when you said you didn't lay any of the blame on him.

@mschumi Well Michael, due to your remarkable record in F1, I recall similar things being said about my prospects with the Mercedes team leading up to 2010, and judging by Romain's qualifying performance so far he may soon get some redemption like I did.

Michael, I think it is great you are helping other young drivers in the Mercedes program. I know from first-hand experience how lucky these guys are to be learning from your experience.

@mschumi Given our improved competitiveness this year Michael I am confident that my first win is just around the corner.

@mschumi It was a very challenging season in a difficult Williams car Michael, and I managed two points finishes for a total of four points.

@mschumi I think my record over the past couple of seasons speaks for itself Michael.

@mschumi That would have been in GP2 in 2005 Michael.
