Hamilton wins Malaysian GP and dedicates it to families of passengers of flight MH370


Malaysian Grand-Prix
Lewis Hamilton took a dominant win in the Malaysian GP to lead Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg to a one-two finish.


Hamilton was in control from the start, converting his position into a lead at the first corner and controlling the race. Rosberg was unable to keep up, and concentrated on ensuring he stayed ahead of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
Mercedes' one-two was the team's first since the 1955 Italian Grand Prix. 
Recent rules changes may have affected some of the drivers and especially Red Bull's Vettel. The hybrid electric/turbo charged engines are much smaller and more quiet reducing in size from 2.4 to 1.6l.

Hamilton dedicated the win to the families of the passengers lost in the disappearance of flight MH370. 

Celebrating the win, Lewis Hamilton said: "It's been pretty special, I have never had the best of luck here. I have always had the pace but things have gone wrong.
"But today - what a great feeling, the guys did a great job, I am so proud of this team, what a great job they have done collectively. I am sure they're always there are things we can improve, I have learnt so much from today to take into the next race.
"I would have to say this is the best car I have ever driven."

As Lewis Hamilton wins the Malaysian Grand-Prix I foresee him winning the Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC) this year.  The Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC) is awarded by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) to the most successful Formula One racing car driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on Grand Prix results.

Overall, thirty two different drivers have won the Championship, with Michael Schumacher holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from 2000 to 2004. The United Kingdom has produced the most World Championship winning drivers with ten; Brazil and Finland are next with three each.
