Race recap:
Hamilton extends his lead in the championship with an easy win.
Ricciardo and Verstappen were both on the podium for Red Bull, meaning Red Bull move into second in the championship.
Rosberg had a poor race, spinning his wheels at the start dropped him from first to fourth. He was then given a 5 second penalty for this incident when overtaking Verstappen, which was exacerbated by his pit crew not timing the penalty properly in the pits. He then didn't have the pace to recover and could only manage fourth.
The Ferraris of Vettel and Raikkonen were disappointing in fifth and sixth respectively.
Hulkenburg, Button, Bottas and Perez rounded out the points paying positions.
A couple of talking points in the drivers market...
Alonso was cheeky on the radio with his engineer which will prompt more rumours that he is unhappy at McLaren.
Despite Force India claiming Perez will continue to race for the team next year, he is more coy about his future and I think he may end up alongside Grosjean at Haas next year with them both having an eye on Raikkonen's Ferrari seat for 2018.
Kvyat is feeling the pressure from his national media claiming he will be dropped completely from the Red Bull setup next season; he has struggled since his demotion to Toro Rosso and really needs to get his head straight during the summer break.
