LEWIS Hamilton did not put a foot wrong all weekend and led qualifying, as well as the Malaysian Grand Prix, from start to finish.
Teammate Nico Rosberg soon got past Sebastian Vettel to make it a one-two.
Although Vettel challenged Rosberg at one stage, in the end he had to let the Mercedes go as he did not have the pace and had to save fuel.
Behind Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo should have been the next man home but he seems to have taken up the bad luck basket from Mark Webber and this time had two incidents which set him back.
Fernando Alonso drove very well to come in 11 seconds behind Vettel at the chequered flag after a close fight with Nico Hulkenberg in the late stages of the race.
Jenson Button did a good job in the McLaren in sixth place while the other McLaren was ninth at the hands of Kevin Magnussen.
Meanwhile, the Williams twins of Felipe Massa and Valtterri Bottas, who finished seventh and eighth respectively, had a controversial race after Massa was told by the pits that Bottas was the faster driver.
You don’t talk to racing drivers like this. Rather explain that Bottas was on fresher rubber and was in a better position to challenge Button.
Massa stubbornly refused to let his teammate by and the matter had to be resolved in a team talk after the race.
The final point finishing position went to the talented Russian Daniil Kvyat who again raced his Torro Rosso very quickly indeed.
This weekend the cars move straight across to Bahrain where we should see another exciting race, and they will all know that Michael Schumacher holds the lap record there from way back in 2004 at 1:30.20. Quite something to keep a record for 10 years these days.
