The Australian won strategically when the security vehicle came out - Ferstapen clashed with Vettel and left him in eighth place - At 9 points the difference between Fedel and Hamilton.
A victory that seemed utterly unlikely on Saturday with so many problems in his engine and Red Bull's lagging speed was achieved by Daniel Riedardo in GP China, 3 this year's Formula 1 race, taking advantage of his team's inspired pit-stop at his exit a security vehicle and, together, the impulse of Max Ferstaden.
The Dutchman, after going out of the track and out of battle for victory trying to pass Lewis Hamilton then embroiled Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, challenged both of them and left the German champion of the championship at 7 - which eventually became 8 when Fernando Alonso and McLaren passed him.
Ferstapen was punished for the 14 event before the finish, with 10 seconds penalty - which dropped him to 5 and behind Hamilton, while in practice finished 4, behind Valter Boot and Kimi Raikkonen who closed the pedestal.
Lewis Hamilton has never been able to coordinate his rhythm and tires with his top riders all weekend, so he confined himself to the 4 position, passing the race in the background. However, with Vettel's misfortune, Hamilton lowered his league lag to the top of the championship at 9 points (Vettel 54, Hamilton 45).
