Rosberg finished second with Valtteri Bottas finally getting his Williams onto the podium for the first non-Mercedes/Ferrari trophy of the season. Sebastian Vettel finished fifth, which was a vast improvement on his starting position of 18th, whilst Felipe Massa recovering from his own poor grid slot to finish just behind the Ferrari driver.
