F1 | Mercedes, Hamilton: “Fantastic result despite the difficulties of the weekend”

Lewis Hamilton took his second victory of the season, taking the lead in the world rankings. The Englishman, starting from second position, did well to immediately get rid of Bottas and led the usual race in the lead from start to finish without anyone being able to bother him. Third consecutive one-two for Mercedes, which still seems to be at another level compared to the competition.

“It wasn't the easiest of weekends, but it's a fantastic result for the team, everyone worked hard to get it – Hamilton said. We didn't know exactly where we were compared to Ferrari here in China, as they were very fast in Bahrain. Valtteri was good all weekend and today he did an excellent job: doing a double in the thousandth Grand Prix is ​​special. I made a difference at the start, we must continue like this! The LH China team was incredible, my thanks go to them: they welcomed me from the moment I arrived at the airport, at the hotel every morning and in every single moment of my days, and of course also on the track, thank you so much. I have no idea how the next races will go, I'm curious."
