A frustrated Lewis Hamilton lost further ground to Nico Rosberg in the championship race after he finished only fifth on Formula One's inaugural visit to Azerbaijan for Sunday's European Grand Prix.

While pole-sitter Rosberg cruised to his fifth victory of the season to extend his lead back to 24 points, Hamilton was left to rue a problem with his Mercedes.

Sebastian Vettel finished second for Ferrari, with Force India's Sergio Perez claiming third after overtaking Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap.
