Lewis Hamilton won unchallenged Chinese GP ahead of his team mate Nico Rosberg and after the race flared again bad blood between them to the surface. Marcus Ericsson took a new World Championship points when he was ten.
Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton was superior and won the Chinese GP for the fourth time. He now leads the championship with 13 points ahead of Sunday’s third place Sebastian Vettel.
While it was undramatic the top was Marcus Ericsson is one of the drivers who invited the most excitement in the third Formula 1 racing.
On the 5.3 km long course, which was run for 56 laps, invited Marcus and the Australian Daniel Ricciardo in two very tough duels wheel to wheel.
Ad:
Ricciardo, who last year was the only driver who managed to beat the Mercedes duo of Hamilton and Rosberg, eventually won both duels.
On lap 27, Marcus replied to the attack so tough that Ricciardo braked himself of course. He came rapidly back and just two laps later he won the battle.
Ricciardo and Ericsson met again on lap 43. Back then the duel on the last World Cup points which would be distributed in Shanghai.
Again won Ricciardo, , but it took almost two laps of fierce bowler ing for him to get on the Swede in the blue and yellow Suaber car.
Marcus was then eleven in the race. But the good fortune helped him to a new point location.
With just two laps remaining stayed Max Verstappen’s car at the start and goal-straight and suddenly Marcus ten.
Sauber has never done well in China . To get both cars in the top ten has not happened since 2005 when the now Felipe Nasr took the points. Brasse was eight and was throughout the race faster than Marcus. Something that can be partially explained by the new front wing Nasr had access to. Marcus will have also to the next World Cup race.
– It was a pretty tough race for me with fights all the time. I had hoped that the move would have been better, but I had problems with the front tires, said Marcus in a press release.
– Yet it was a good race with great battles and I’m really happy to have scored points again, continued Marcus, who of course also paid tribute to the team’s success.
– Our goal was to get both cars in the points place and we managed that.
In the two races Marcus reached the checkered flag in the years he has also scored points, which shows that the step to Sauber was the right career choice.
Behind the big three teams at the top, Mercedes, Ferrari and Williams was again just Sauber who received In his two cars in the top ten.
Sauber reinforces even more that the team is best for the big three. Sauber also remains at its fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
Top battle was never exciting.
– I had a perfect weekend. I made sure I had all along been a backlash to (Nico) Rosberg and saved the tires to use them when I needed, said Hamilton after his second victory, his fourth in Shanghai and the 35th overall.
He is now five wins up to Vettel who has 40 in fourth place through the ages. Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna, with 91, 51 and 41 victories are the top three.
The Brit now leads the championship with 13 points ahead of Sebastian Vettel.
Hamilton impressed immensely and now has a row of ten straight races påpallen. An outstanding achievement.
Vettel in third place was a while on the way to approach Rosberg, who then changed the tires and was able to keep his second place. His second year.
Rosberg complained, however, the radio on that Hamilton did not hold enough high pace at the front. Hamilton was ordered to increase and did a few laps.
When this came up after the race Hamilton said:
– It is not my job to keep track of Nico’s race. I checked my race and my car.
– Interesting to hear from you Lewis, you just thought of yourself at the front and it caused problems for me. Driving slower than needed meant that Sebastian (Vettel) came closer to me, said Rosberg tart at the press conference.
An altercation that both show that Rosberg is stressed about Hamilton right now faster and also shows that the feud between the two stable mates who were last year, once again flared up.
When Vettel ended up in traffic with lapped cars at the end Kimi Räikkönen was close to catching up and in all cases do battle for the final podium place exciting.
But then broke Verstappen and the safety car came out. It became the finish after the safety car.
Williams both drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas finished fifth and sixth.
April 19′s that time again, when Bahrain will host the fourth Formula 1 racing.
