The Formula One season continues to go Mercedes’ way as the team dominated both the grand prix - Bahrain and Chinese - held in April. Mercedes’s Lewis Hamilton won both the races with teammate Nico Rosberg finishing a close second. The win in Bahrain, which took place first, was the second one-two finish for Mercedes this season and a close one too - Hamilton finished just one second ahead of Rosberg.
The Chinese GP, held next, was a similar show with Hamilton taking the pole and eventually the race. Force India’s Sergio Perez had his first podium finish in five years in Bahrain - finishing third - while Ferrari’s Alonso came third in China.
As of now, Rosberg heads the drivers’ standings with 79 points, four ahead of Hamilton. Alonso is third at 41 points.
