ico Rosberg’s perfect start to the 2016 Formula One season continued in
Shanghai as the Mercedes driver took a controlled Chinese Grand Prix victory,
while behind him a dramatic race saw Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel recover from
a controversial first-corner collision to take second place ahead of Red Bull Racing’s
Daniil Kvyat.
While the bulk of the race was comfortable for Rosberg, his grand prix began
shakily as he was beaten off the line by a hard-charging Daniel Ricciardo who lined
up beside the Mercedes driver on the front row of the grid.
