By Ajinkya

The race was spectacular with Lewis Hamilton winning the race from Pole position and with a certain ease in his perfectly set up Mercedes AMG Petronas. Team mate Nico Rosberg did not achieve a great start and dropped down to seventh position.

The German's race was ruined as he had to fight his way back to the top spot, this would be no easy task as he would face the likes Of Ferrari, Red Bull as well as Williams. Rosberg steadily recovered positions and finished the race in second place, almost 18 seconds behind Hamilton.
