The Australian remains the only driver other then a Mercedes driver to have won Grand Prix this season. His victory on Sunday was his second of the season and as a result he is now points behind championship leader Nico Rosberg as Formula One begins its Summer break.

There are still a maximum of 225 points to be won from the remaining Grand Prix with the final race in Abu Dhabi worth double points.
