Chinese Grand Prix 2015 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Lewis Hamilton dominated the Chinese Grand Prix from pole position, leading home Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel in another commanding Mercedes one-two finish. Hamilton's victory at Shanghai showcased his complete mastery of the W06 Hybrid, controlling the race from start to finish while setting the fastest lap. The triumph was Hamilton's second win from three races and established him as the clear championship favorite in the early season.

The race featured Hamilton at his imperious best, managing tire strategy and race pace to perfection on Shanghai's challenging circuit. Rosberg followed home in second but had no answer to Hamilton's superior speed and racecraft. Vettel's podium for Ferrari demonstrated the Scuderia's consistency as best of the rest, though they still lacked the pace to challenge Mercedes for victories.
