Mercedes, the team that have won every championship for the past five years, completed a hat-trick of successive one-two finishes at Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix. China was seen as a track where Ferrari would have the upper hand but it was Mercedes whose drivers lined up first and second on the grid. The battle for supremacy is between Mercedes and Ferrari, with Honda-powered Red Bull challenging for podiums, but Ferrari leave China with more pressure on them. Nico Rosberg, the retired champion who won the 2016 title with Mercedes, agreed the Italians had work to do. “I’m hearing from the Ferrari guys that they’ve got their car in the wrong aerodynamic window at the moment,” he said.
