According to a Formula One report, Mercedes’ strategy of single-stopping both cars - starting them on softs and finishing on mediums - eventually paid out handsomely. Ferrari went for two-stoppers, running supersoft-supersoft-soft, and though Vettel was catching up bit by bit at the end, it was never going to be enough to dislodge Hamilton as the Englishman trailed home second, 15s down on his team mate.

Mercedes remain well ahead in the constructor’s stakes with 488 points, but Ferrari have edged closer to Red Bull with 279 to their 290. Williams move back to fourth on 111, with Force India on 108.
