Nico Rosberg completed a perfect weekend for the Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team in China, during which both the German driver and his ‘Silver Arrows' team managed their allocation of Pirelli tires to perfection.
Having claimed a dominant pole position by half a second, Rosberg took his debut victory and the first win for Mercedes since the 1955 Italian Grand Prix, using a two-stop strategy.
Rosberg's pace at the beginning of the Grand Prix was enough to ensure that he was able to complete his first pit stop without losing the lead and from there on he was able to control his advantage, completing the race on the medium tires.
