Hamilton’s third win in four races extends his lead in the championship to 27 points over his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg. But the British driver’s performances are almost certainly the most complete of his startling career.
Such is his form at the start of the season that we could easily mistake the extraordinary for the routine.
Raikkonen was second with a strong drive from fourth on the grid, a place ahead of Rosberg, who drove with real gusto but struggled with brake problems.
It was always going to be hard to match the front-to-back excitement of last year’s race here. This edition did not reach those towering standards, but there was still a smattering of thrills during the 57 laps of a race whose efficient organisation, friendly paddock, and perfectly choreographed lights are a model of excellence for all grand prix hosts to emulate.
