BBC Radio 5 liveMercedes boss Toto Wolff tells BBC Radio 5 live: "It was not so stressful, but we have seen so much drama this season and that is why I'm never relaxed during a race.
"Nico Rosberg has to be careful to not risk a DNF and that is why he may have been a bit conservative up to turn one.
"I hope it was not too boring for the spectators but it was just what Lewis Hamilton needed. It was an immaculate performance."
