FIA post-race press conference – China

Drivers: 1 – Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), 2 – Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 3 – Mark Webber (Red Bull).

Q: Lewis, you made a gamble to keep back a fresh set of tyres. Was it the gamble that paid off for you today?
Lewis Hamilton: I think today the strategy we came up with going into qualifying definitely helped. I think my new option tyre seemed to last a little bit longer than the guys in front but I think it was quite a few things that came together really.
