Lewis Hamilton put Mercedes back on
top with a win at the Chinese Grand Prix. Hamilton made sure there would be no
repeat of Ferrari surprising win two weeks ago at the Malaysian Grand Prix
conserving his tires to withstand a challenge by the Italian’s team Sebastian
Vettel and easily capture his fourth Grand Prix and the 35th win of
his career.
Rosberg finished second and Vettel
finished third in Chinese Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari finished fourth.
Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas finished fifth and sixth. From the start
through to the first round of pit stops Hamilton held Rosberg at bay by a
second as they traded fast laps, with Vettel and Raikkonen just managing to
keep the duo in their sights. After 10 Laps the gap between the quartets was
6.4sec, leaving the remainder of the field behind as a two team battle for the
victory unfold.
Hamilton drove fast enough to keep
the Ferraris at arm length while eking out the required stint lengths to match
the Italian team two stop strategies. His second victory in three races this season
and his eighth in 10 grand prix dating back to Italy in September last year extended
his championship lead to 13 points over Vettel, whose advantage over Rosberg
was cut to four.
