Lewis Hamilton started third on the grid in Shanghai and had to battle past teammate Jenson Button before finally overhauling Vettel for the lead with just four laps remaining.
In the end it proved as much a tactical victory for Hamilton as it was one of power and nerve, his three stops to Vettel's two proving the way to go on the notoriously low-wearing Pirelli tyres.
The result saw Vettel denied a third win in a row at the start of the new season, and a fifth dating back to last year.For a delighted and emotional Hamilton, it was a first victory since last August's Belgian Grand Prix and a result which moved him into second place in the drivers' standings.
