Looking over Motorsports, five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has won the Chinese Grand Prix in 1 hour 32 minutes 6.350 seconds to seize the overall lead from his Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas.

The Briton won Formula One's 1,000th world championship race on Sunday to take his career tally to 75 and he is now just 16 victories short of Michael Schumacher's all time record. Bottas, meanwhile, who made a poor start from pole, was next, to cross the line 6.552 seconds later.

This was the third one-two finish for Mercedes in as many races this season. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel took third place. Hamilton tops the overall standings with 68 points while Bottas is 6 points adrift in second place.
