Top 10 tweets from the Malaysia Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton made up for Australian Grand Prix disqualifcation with a stupendous victory from pole position in Malaysia. Nico Rosberg finished in second place to record Mercedes’ first one-two finish since 1955 while defending champion Sebastian Vettel rounded off the podium. Fernando Alonso was engaged in a race long duel with Nico Hulkenberg but ultimately regained fourth place from the German who was running on a two stop strategy. Daniel Ricciardo ran in fourth place for much of the race before a series of problems starting with his final pitstop ruined his chances of finishing in the points.
