Cumberbatch then moved over to Hamilton’s Mercedes team-mate and probed Nico
Rosberg who finished second.
“I got a great start and from then on I tried to chase Lewis, but he was a bit
too quick,” said Rosberg.
Four-time defending world champion Sebastian Vettel was powerless to catch
Rosberg in his Red Bull and he finished third, with Ferrari’s Fernando
Alonso fourth and Nico Hulkenberg fifth for Force India.
The win was sweet for Hamilton, who has not topped the podium since Hungary
last July and retired early at the season-opener in Australia, setting back
his bid for a second world title.
