      The Mclaren team continues its strong showing this season, winning the Shanghai Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton finished in first after starting in 3rd place. Teammate Jenson Button started in second and finished fourth. The Mercedes-Petronas team had its best result of the season with Nico Rosberg finishing in 5th place and Michael Schumacher in 8th. The next race is the Turkish Grand Prix on May 8th.




      NICO ROSBERG:

      “Naturally I’m disappointed with the race today as we know that we didn’t make the most of our opportunity out there. We’ve made a big step with the car this weekend which is really nice to see and we will have better races in future. Leading the race for such a long time was a great feeling but we had issues with the fuel consumption which made it really difficult to fight for position. We could have had a podium finish or maybe more today, but we will learn from this together as a team and make sure that we get the results next time.”

      MICHAEL SCHUMACHER:

      “That was a lot of racing in one Grand Prix this afternoon and very exciting! I had a lot of fun this afternoon and I’m so pleased to see the hard work of our guys paid off this weekend. We have made a big step forward with our car and it worked very well. We are heading towards the first race in Europe now and will bring some upgrades to Istanbul which should help us to improve even more. It is good to leave Asia with a positive feeling.”

        You make a good point, didn't think about that when making it. The thing is I tweet out news updates and I just usually tweet the thread title as that makes things easy. In the future I'll just post something like "Grand Prix Results" so you have to click to see who won and so forth, sorry.
