SHANGHAI, April 15 — Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton climbed to the top of the drivers’ championship with a dominant victory at the 1,000th Formula One race. Much of the pre-season talk was about the superior pace of Ferrari in testing and then, after Valtteri Bottas won the season-opening race, the threat to Hamilton from his Mercedes team-mate. But the reigning world champion roared back, winning in Bahrain and now China to top the standings.
Before the weekend, Mercedes and Ferrari talked up the threat posed by Red Bull and so it transpired that Max Verstappen, who finished on the podium in Australia behind the two Mercedes, split the Ferrari drivers by finishing fourth in Shanghai. Pierre Gasly was sixth but had the consolation of grabbing the bonus point for the fastest lap after pitting for fresh tyres near the end.
