Hamilton took the chequered flag 3.4 seconds clear of the German, who did all he could to beat him. Daniel Ricciardo finished 75.8 seconds behind the winner.
Ricciardo was the only driver not lapped by the top two in a race where both Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen failed to finish, retiring after a blown engine and first lap collision respectively.
