Shanghai success joy for Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton believes his superb victory in the Chinese Grand Prix ranks among his best three results in Formula One since his debut in 2007.

The McLaren driver claimed his first win in eight long months on Sunday to check Sebastian Vettel’s perfect start to the new season and give an overdue kick-start to his own campaign.

In an enthralling race packed with drama and position changes throughout, Hamilton eventually prevailed after overhauling the reigning champion just four laps from the finish. “I feel so proud,” said the 26-year-old. “This race is in my top three of race wins. It’s up there with Silverstone and Monaco in 2008.”
