Hamilton ‘overwhelmed’ with Chinese victory

LEWIS HAMILTON was left “absolutely overwhelmed” after ending his eight-month Formula One victory drought with a supreme performance in yesterday’s action-packed Chinese Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver got the better of championship leader Sebastian Vettel after a race-long duel to record his 15th career win – and first since August’s Belgian Grand Prix.

Hamilton lined up third on the grid and battled past team-mate Jenson Button before overhauling pole-sitter Vettel for the lead with just four laps remaining.
