Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat was on the move in the race as well as the drivers' championship. A fourth-place finish and being the sole Renault-powered car in top five took the Russian to seventh in the standings.

It was not a great day for Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel. A tyre blowout on the penultimate lap nullified the German's podium chances in the Italian team's 900th Grand Prix start.

You blink and you 'goof-up'. Williams had a sorry moment when they put three sets of soft tyres and one medium tyre on Valtteri Bottas car during the race. Were they playing tyre poker?

There were discussions about race starts prior to the GP. Force India's Sergio Perez had a rocketing start, leapfrogging Bottas and Nico Rosberg and almost stealing the lead from Hamilton.

And teammate Rosberg now faces an uphill battle to dethrone the Hamilton-brigade! A rough weekend for the German involved a tyre blowout in FP1, saw him beaten by Hamilton for pole and, to cap it off, a poor start led to a battle to salvage second.
