Lewis Hamilton emerged victorious from the tough sprint race of the Chinese Grand Prix, sealing his first success as a Ferrari driver. As he stepped out of his SF-25, the Briton was greeted by the roar of a crowd enthralled by the seven-time world champion's win.

After struggling in the Australian Grand Prix, where Hamilton himself acknowledged he had not felt comfortable throughout the weekend, the Briton took it upon himself to find his way into the processes and car set-up to unlock the potential he felt was left untapped during the race weekend in Melbourne.

"On Monday I hit Riccardo (Adami, race engineer, ed.,) up and said, 'these are the things I want to start with this weekend, this is more the direction' and I'm much happier with that. That's something I had tested back in Bahrain and we kind of veered off from there so there's been a couple of changes," which have certainly yielded positive results. "From the moment I started driving on yesterday, I felt more at one with the car."

"So I'm learning along the way still, just how to maneuver the tools in order to make the car work the way I want it to work. So I'm really happy with how it came out given that that is the case, but now I've got a much better knowledge now of what the car likes and what I need to do to make it faster," concluded Hamilton.
