"I hope I have represented Niki in a worthy manner”, said Vettel. For his part Ecclestone addressed, in perfect English humor, a thought to the non-executive president of Mercedes: “His doctors said he couldn't be there, but there's no excuse: he has to come back next year".

Among those present also Gerhard Berger, who wanted to send his very personal best wishes to Lauda: "I wish him a speedy recovery".
