Vettel beats Mercedes for win

Sebastian Vettel spectacularly announced Ferrari’s return as a Formula 1 force by beating the Mercedes drivers to win an absorbing Malaysia GP.

In just his second grand prix for the Scuderia since his high-profile winter switch from Red Bull, Vettel ended his new team’s 34-race victory drought with a tactical and tyre preservation triumph in the stifling heat of Sepang.

Confirming pre-race expectations that the impressive SF15-T would be able to complete one fewer pitstop than the Mercedes W06 as track temperatures soared beyond 60 degrees, Vettel stopped only twice and overhauled Lewis Hamilton who came home second.

Vettel’s victory, the landmark 40th of his career, just one less than Ayrton Senna and the German’s first since his last title triumph in 2013, arguably represents the very first time since F1’s switch to hybrid engines last year that Mercedes have been beaten on pure performance.
