Valtteri Bottas was left disappointed after a Safety Car robbed him of a “deserved” win in Shanghai on Sunday.

At one stage it looked as if Bottas was going to get his revenge on Sebastian Vettel for Bahrain as Mercedes used the undercut to take the lead off the Ferrari driver.

However, the decision not to pit under the Safety Car for a Toro Rosso collision meant Bottas was on old mediums for the final stint while Red Bull took the gamble to change tyres.

Daniel Ricciardo came through to win the grand prix with his final pass of the day being that on Bottas for the lead.
