The Red Bull and McLaren men fought it out for 2nd place for almost two thirds of the race, with Hamilton eventually holding onto the position.

Referring to the battle, Webber said: “The battle with Lewis was pretty intense.”

“I was frustrated that we followed him out of the pit lane. I risked quite a bit to try and pass him on the out lap, before he got settled in.”

“It’s not easy to pass a driver of Lewis’ calibre. I tried some moves and it was a good battle as our cars had weaknesses and strengths in different areas of the lap, so trying to get the move done wasn’t particularly easy.”

“I would have liked to have got that extra position, which I think performance-wise we deserved.”

“But McLaren did a good job and Lewis drove well.”

“There were loads of positives today, it was a good start for me and I got a good result.”
