LIVE coverage of the F1 Malaysian Grand Prix - race begins at 9:00am GMT on Sunday.

So that's Hamilton's first win since Hungary last year, and Rosberg adds to the points he gathered in Australia. Thank you so much for joining me this morning!

Vettel takes that third place after a difficult day for Red Bull; good work from him.

"Awesome race, Lewis...you've done the job there, pal," he's told, and he thanks them profusely in return.

And it's a Mercedes one-two for the first time since 1955, I'm told! Lewis Hamilton records that victory and the team run to greet their dynamic duo.

It's doubtful he's going to. He's been in control of himself, the car and the race throughout.

Mercedes are reminding Lewis Hamilton - in a slightly panicky fashion - that he doesn't need to take any risks on this last lap.

Massa and Bottas are still having that exciting little squabble in seventh and eighth. Bottas is faster but despite instructions Massa doesn't want to let him overtake.

Hamilton is told to reduce the pace a little bit in order to protect the car - he has no need to push it any further.

Hamilton now has an incredible 13-second advantage over Rosberg, and still has around 10 per cent of his fuel left. A very efficient drive in all senses.

And quietly, with little aplomb, Lewis Hamilton records a lap time pretty near dead-on 1:43.

Team-mates Bottas and Massa have a little power struggle - the Finn is the faster and is ready to overtake into eighth.

Yes, Ricciardo opts to retire. What a shame for him and Red Bull.

Poor Ricciardo is in the pits again and it looks like that might be a good time for him to gracefully draw a veil over a disastrous day for his car.

No problems at all for Mercedes in that pit stop.

Hamilton is preparing for his final pit stop of the race. He'll have his fingers crossed for a smooth change and to be able to resume his placid saunter to the top of the podium.

You have to feel for Ricciardo - two laps behind the leaders now and at the back of the pack.

Vettel's called into the pit for the necessary tyre change, and Rosberg will be the next one in.

Alonso is around two seconds a lap quicker than Hulkenberg, but only has seven laps left to make up four seconds' disadvantage.

No more evidence of that rain, by the way, and Hamilton is cruising, nearly 14 seconds in front of Rosberg.

He's trying to move in on Hulkenberg, who's clinging on to fourth place.
