Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg made it a third Mercedes 1-2 finish when they took the top two podium places at the China Grand Prix held in Shanghai on Sunday.
Hamilton led from start to finish while Rosberg fell to sixth early at the start of the race, but managed to climb up and maintained his second place throughout right to the finish of the race.
Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso finished third for his first trip to the podium this season.
This win is Hamilton’s third win in China and his 25th Formula 1 victory in total.
Finishing fifth was Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel who was beaten by his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, the second time this has happened.
The Formula 1 circus moves to Europe with the Spanish GP to be held in Barcelona.
