"It was a hard race," he said. "I tried my best to get some points for Toyota.
"Six laps from the end I asked about the tyre situation and about the weather conditions, and I said every time 'I'll stay out, one more lap, one more lap' and at the end I stayed out for the whole race," explained Glock.
"That last lap just cost us the chance to be in the top five, and in the end (decided) the world championship.
"At the end I didn't give the title to Lewis – I think they worked for that the whole year, and Felipe as well.
"They both did a really great job all year and in the end it was a dramatic finale.
"I think it's exactly what the fans want to see – maybe the Brazilian fans are not on my side any more but I tried my best and drove my race, and in the end I can't change it."
A number of Spanish newspapers carried comments from readers suggesting the climax had been fixed.
"Question: who are Hamilton's friends in the paddock? Answer: Rosberg and Glock. Strange what happened, hey?" read one comment on the website of AS.
Another reader of Marca wrote: "That was the biggest fix in the history of sport. Next year we will see the real champion."
