Mercedes on 1-2. First podium for Ferrari this season. Zero points for McLaren and Lotus.
Tag: Shanghai
Pole position is a great result for us today and to achieve it in my third race for the team is such a good feeling. Everyone’s been working really hard. It would be great to convert the position in the race tomorrow but it’s going to be a challenge and we’re realistic about how tough the race will be. I’m looking forward to it and will give it my all.

Nico Rosberg took his first pole position and his first grand prix victory in Shanghai. But Kamui Kobayashi was the fastest man on the track:
Nico Rosberg in Mercedes wins his first F1 grand prix ever in his 111. race! Congratulations, Nico. Congratulations, Mercedes.
Apparently, not only former F1 driver Adrian Sutil – who is a trained concert pianist – plays the piano. Two time world champion Fernando Alonso also plays the piano to relax before a race! Photo via Twitter.
Kamui Kobayahsi just wrote Japanese sports history. This is the highest grid position ever by a Japanese driver!
The first pole position ever for Nico Rosberg, who will be the 7th German driver to archieve a pole position in F1! Michael Schumacher goes to the press conference with Lewis Hamilton. Both Saubers in top 10! ***UPDATE: Michael Schumacher on P2. Clean Mercedes row 1! (Lewis Hamilton got a 5 place penalty for a gearbox change)***
