Hamilton records fourth straight victory

Lewis Hamilton ascended to the summit of the Drivers’ Championship after recording his fourth victory in a row in the Spanish Grand Prix this weekend. The British driver finished ahead of Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in second, leapfrogging him into first place on the World Championship leaderboard.

Hamilton led from start to finish but Rosberg pushed him all the way to the finish line. Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was third and teammate Sebastian Vettel fourth.

Mercedes have now won each of the five races so far this season, with Hamilton taking four and Rosberg winning the Australian Grand Prix which the Briton was forced to withdraw from.

Johnny commented: “Mercedes have been very impressive so far this season and both Hamilton and Rosberg are reaping the benefits. It will be interesting to see how the other teams respond because at the moment, Mercedes are threatening to run away with it.”

The next race on the calendar is the Monaco Grand Prix 22-25 May 2014.
