Lewis Hamilton Winner of the Spanish Grand Prix 2014
Lewis Hamilton took the world championship lead from Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg with a closely fought victory in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Hamilton leads Rosberg by three points as his fourth win in a row finally made up the ground he lost by retiring from the season-opening Australian GP.
Hamilton led from start to finish, winning a tense battle with Rosberg.
The two had a huge advantage over the rest of the field, as Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo took third.
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel took fourth after a superb recovery drive from 15th on the grid ahead of Williams’ Valtteri Bottas and the Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen.
“I wasn’t fast enough really today,” said Hamilton. “Nico was quicker. I had to rely on my engineers to tell me where I could find time and what the gap was.”
“One more lap and I would have been close enough to give it a good go,” said Rosberg. “I’m a bit gutted, but still second place and in a good position in the championship. There are many races to go.”
