Toto Wolff: Lewis Hamilton was in a different league in China

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton was "in a different league" as he took his 54th Formula One career victory at the Chinese Grand Prix.

After sealing his sixth pole position around the Shanghai International Circuit in qualifying, Hamilton led every single lap on his way to recording his fifth win in China and his third F1 grand slam (pole, fastest lap, win, led every lap). The Briton superbly controlled a tricky race in mixed conditions, a drive which Wolff could only praise.

"Lewis on his day is just in a different league," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.
