Nico Rosberg may have a 36-point lead over Lewis Hamilton after his victory in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, but the German is all too aware of how quickly things can change in Formula One.

It was not too long ago, remember, that Rosberg held a 29-point advantage over his Mercedes team-mate with six races remaining, only to end up losing the world championship by a margin of 67 points as Hamilton finished 2014 with a flourish.

And while Rosberg has extracted maximum points from the opening three races of the 2016 season, and extended his career-best winning streak to six, he has acknowledged Hamilton remains a very dangerous threat.

With Hamilton forced to start from the back of the grid, Ferrari had hoped to threaten Rosberg in Shanghai, but their chances of registering a first win of the season were almost immediately extinguished when Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen collided at the first corner.

The team-mates were still able to finish second and fifth, respectively, but their recovery drives hardly papered over the cracks in the eyes of Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne, who has expressed his frustration with the Prancing Horse's start to the season.

The friendly fire between Vettel and Raikkonen was prompted by Daniil Kvyat's opportunistic lunge down the inside of the Ferraris, with the under-pressure Russian surviving the early chaos to claim the second podium finish of his career in China.

And Kvyat believes Red Bull are capable of challenging Mercedes on a regular basis as the season progresses.

As one Renault-powered driver enjoyed a strong, trouble-free race, another finished in last place in a grand prix with no retirements, with Jolyon Palmer left horrified by his lack of pace in China.

Closing this week's roundup is Paul Hembery, who has explained why Pirelli is prepared to quit F1.
