Lewis Hamilton has said that it was "great" to have a smooth weekend after securing victory at the Chinese Grand Prix this morning.
The Mercedes driver picked up his second win of the season ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg in a race that finished behind the safety car when Max Verstappen's Toro Rosso broke down late on.
Speaking on the podium after the race, the current world champion said: "First of all, a fantastic job by the team. It was great to have a smooth weekend.
"It was about controlling the gap for me and saving tyres for when I needed them. The safety car wasn't helpful as it was an anti-climax but as long as no-one was hurt then that's the important thing."
The result leaves Hamilton 13 points ahead of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in the championship standings.
