Nico won but he was only doing what anyone would have done in the Mercedes from the lead.
45s ahead of Vettel by the end, and Hamilton 27s ahead despite being stuck behind him for half the race and making an extra stop? Seriously, any driver in the field can win in that thing. Vettel did a pretty good job to stay within 10s until changing strategy.
I think Hamilton was faster than Rosberg on the day, but he just got stuck behind the Ferrari. Once past he showed his potential pace advantage over Rosberg.
Bottas did alright, only 13s behind Vettel and beating Kimi.
Between Hamilton and Bottas I suppose. And Ricciardo bounced back after qualifying behind Kyvat and was behind the Toro Rosso's after the start.
