A brilliant Hamilton wins in Barcelona

Lewis Hamilton has won a great battle against his teammate Nico Rosberg and Daniel Ricciardo.

 

The race has remained very similar a few laps after the start, where the top guys have kept the starting positions except Valteri Bottas who has overtaken into the first corner Daniel Ricciardo.

The race has been very quiet and also the pit stops, where Ricciardo has passed Bottas who was doing a great plug, from there the Australian has imposed his rhythm and has escaped from the world, reaching a great third place, comfortable.
Behind, Vettel opened the pit stop walk, and has been overtaking a lot, forceful and choose a three-stop strategy, just like Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.
The Lotus of Romain Grosjean has started well, covering the position to Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso but has finally fallen on the table until the 8th position.
In the race there have been three great fights, one was the comeback from the 15th starting position for Vettel finishing 4th, another was the great struggle between the two Mercedes for the win and the last great struggle has been to the two Ferraris in the 6 and 7.
The struggle of the Mercedes has been a strategic game where each driver elected a range of different tyres, something like Bahrain with more or less the same end, in the final laps, Nico Rosberg has been pushing over Lewis Hamilton but without getting into position.
The fight of the two Ferrari has been throughout the race a clinch, where the start from Fernando Alonso was unable to wrest the position to Kimi and this has made him a constant plug until Fernando has decided to pit stop, however the Asturian has failed to advance him and was finally in the last trame of the race where he with new and soft tyres could overtake, thus maintaining the “leadership” or full of victories over his teammate.
On the back, Sergio Perez has managed to win this battle to his teammate Nico Hulkenberg.
And the black face of the weekend are the McLaren, which again neither of them finished in the points, placing Jenson Button 11th and 12th Kevin Magnussen.
