Sebastian Vettel gives the season an uplifting start.

Vettel goes long at the start, gapping Mercedes' duo allowing him to keep the lead through the first round of pit stops. Vettel then guides his Ferrari to the victory, his and the team's 1st win since 2015, while offering hope that the new season might offer more than 1-team dominating parade. Valtieri Bottas finishes 3rd in his 1st start for Mercedes.
