In total their were five tyre incidents in a race that saw the safety car twice.

Hamilton fought back and finished fourth, but the glory went to his Mercedes teammate, as Rosberg held off the challenge of Mark Webber on the final lap.

Fernando Alonso finished third, while Sebastian Vettel retired due to gearbox failure, suffered as he was leading the race.
