00:00And away we go, look at Felipe Massa go, he's already past Nico Rosberg, he's now making him own semester, Vettel, he touches with Fernando Alonso, Hamilton for Ricciardo and Alonso, and the Williams of Valtteri Bottas getting shunted out of the way as they go round turn one, Ricciardo under pressure for Fernando Alonso, Alonso trying to squeeze round the outside, Ricciardo's got him covered, then Vettel, then comes the Williams, and at the back there's Kevin Magnussen getting caught once again in the opening lap.
00:26And now they're having trouble getting that tyre on, and oh for Felipe Massa, this has gone from a brilliant first 50 metres into an absolute disaster, he's gaining, he's gaining, he's gone over onto the marbles, he's going to try and get Vettel on the inside and there, but he locks up, and in locking up forces Sebastian Vettel a little deeper than the world champion would have wanted, now the drag towards the final corner, and Rosberg, does he stay in front, yes he does.
00:52Sebastian, let Ricciardo through, let Daniel through please.
00:57DRS is helping Ricciardo get closer, he's going to go in on the inside, Sebastian Vettel plants his car in the middle of the track, and I think in the end bails out of any potential contact.
01:06This might not be too hard for Nico Rosberg, there's the DRS line, he's almost alongside Alonso, even before he gets that advantage, so not only is he up into second place, but he can start to pull away.
01:17It's Lewis Hamilton that wins the Chinese Grand Prix, once again Mercedes a long way clear from the rest, once again it'll be a Mercedes 1-2.
01:29So, it's Lewis Hamilton with a full 25 points, Nico Rosberg, 18, this is deja vu from the last two race weekends for Nana Valonso, good to see him on the podium for the first time all year.
01:43Daniel Ricciardo outperforming his teammates, Sebastian Vettel, two points over him, Nico Hülkenberg, what a champion he is, the best of the rest will talk about him in just a while here on Chequered Flag, Valtteri Bottas faring a lot better than his teammate, bringing in six for himself and for the Williams team.
01:57Kimi Reichen, four, Perez, two and one for Fiat.
02:03Jenson Button again and Kevin Magnussen, both the McLaren's outside of the points.
02:08Felipe Massa after such a strong, pseudo-strong start to the weekend, we'll say, no points for that Williams car either.
02:16Kamu Kobayashi, Jules Bianchi, Max Chilton again, the Maruchas and the Caterham still to get on the score sheet and again another weekend with no Lotus there.
02:24Even Sigil now, that's three races that he has not completed.
02:28What on earth is going on with that car?
02:31Let's hear from our top three fastest drivers now.
