Start of the Formula One Grand Prix Season.

Hamilton passes vettel, will that be the winning of the race.

If Lewis wins, it is down to bad strategy from Ferrari.
Should have pitted under the virtual safety car. I think it was taken off earlier than they thought it would.

[SteveB]

All over.
Lewis Hamilton wins.
