Revolution!

The German is the winner in Shanghai

This was no resurrection, it was a revolution! His first victory in the Formula One championship 1, celebrated Nico Rosberg in the third round of the season, at the Shanghai circuit, taking the maiden win for Mercedes GP as well.

The German pilot, "put" the glasses on... favorites, opening an account in the winnings! Jenson Button climbed to the second step of the podium, while the top three was completed by Lewis Hamilton.

After 110 grand prix Nico Rosberg managed to taste the top champagne at the Chinese Grand Prix. The patience of the German, the previous two years he was rewarded with a competitive car, which gave him his first win and at the same time Mercedes' first win.

The 26-year-old pilot, started from poly position, a position he maintained throughout the race, without being stressed. Michael Schumacher was unlucky in the third round of the season...

The seven-time World Champion, he retired after a mechanical error in the first pit stop.

The German coming out of the pits, he experienced a problem with his rear left wheel which caused him to go off the track.

McLaren consistently good!

Numb the "red bulls"

The Red Bull duo took the checkered flag from fourth and fifth place, with Webber passing Vettel on the final lap. The "red bulls" for another grand prix, they were… numb, showing that they cannot compete with McLaren.

However, the World champion's effort was impressive, who from 14th place he fell at the start, managed to place fifth.

The good ones…

In a grand prix that initially the strategy and then the battles of the pilots made it impressive, the Williams drivers stood out. The team looks to have put last year's lackluster season behind them with Senna and Maldonado finishing seventh and eighth, respectively.

The good performances continue at Sauber, with Kobayashi this time representing the team in the top ten.

And the bad guys...

The Ferrari pilots did not manage to renounce their place among the bad guys in China either. Alonso saw the checkered flag from ninth place, while his counterpart, Felipe Massa, placed 13th.
