... winners podium - Chinese themed trophy

Fernando Alonso won the strategy battle in Shanghai as the Grand Prix was another race of who calculated their sums correctly on Pirelli’s temperamental tyres. The drivers executed various methods for negotiating 56 laps of the circuit.

Mark Webber said of the secret of winning in this era: ‘Tyres, tyres, tyres, tyres…tyres.’

Webber had another day to forget. First he clouted into the Toro Rosso of Jean-Eric Vergne and was forced back into the pits for a new nose. Then more trouble after his stop with a loose right-rear wheel. Limping back to the pits, the wheel worked its way free and rolled across the track in front of Vettel.
