"After starting from pole position, Lewis Hamilton has captured his third consecutive race of the 2014 Formula 1 season, leading from lights-to-checkered in a commanding victory at the Chinese Grand Prix. The 29-year old Brit hopped out into clean air and pulled away at a prodigious clip, building a 17-second gap between himself and the grid before completing his 20th lap. Nico Rosberg, driving sans pit data due to a telemetry malfunction prior to the start, still managed to gift Mercedes yet another one-two finish. Equally as impressive was Fernando Alonso, who went on the offensive early to climb from fifth to third, allotting Ferrari its maiden podium of 2014 just days after a surprising shakeup in team management.  In a developing inter-team storyline, Red Bull&amp;#039;s Daniel Ricciardo landed in fourth\u2014some 24s ahead of a slumping Sebastian Vettel. The defending champ struggled putting power down early, prompting orders to let his Aussie teammate pass on lap 25. &amp;quot;Which tire is he on?&amp;quot; Vettel radioed back. &amp;quot;Primes, but he&amp;#039;s stopped later than you.&amp;quot; Seb&amp;#039;s reply? &amp;quot;Tough luck.&amp;quot;  Realizing he&amp;#039;d have to earn it, Ricciardo gave chase, DRS at full rake, with the RB10s stacked down the front straight. He eventually overtook Vettel on the inside, remanding the German to a fifth place finish. Force India&amp;#039;s Nico Hulkenberg turned in another strong drive to claim sixth, followed by a pair of Finns\u2014Valtteri Bottas of Williams and Kimi R\u00E4ikk\u00F6nen of Ferrari\u2014in seventh and eighth. Sergio Perez gave Force India double-points honors in ninth, while Daniil Kvyat, Red Bull Toro Rosso&amp;#039;s 19-year old virtuoso, collected the final World Championship point in tenth.  Iffy aerodynamics hindered front grip for the McLarens cars, with Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen lagging behind in 11th and 13th, respectively. A nightmarish minute-long pit on lap 12 left Felipe Massa fighting back from 21st on the grid, ending up 15th. Adrian Sutil&amp;#039;s Sauber quit midway through lap 7; Romain Grosjean&amp;#039;s Lotus retired due to gearbox failure on lap 30.
