In contrast to last weekend he made Mercedes' new aerodynamic configuration work supremely well to outpace his team mate Valtteri Bottas, and Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari.
We thought, coming into today, we would be fighting for pole position but it was definitely out of reach today,” said Bottas.
Hamilton is having a tricky weekend- he was more than 0.4secs down on his team-mate while less than 0.1secs separated Vettel, Raikkonen and Bottas.
We tried really hard to push Ferrari in the first stint but we just couldn't match the pace," said Bottas.
Villeneuve also dismissed any complaints about Mercedes asking Valtteri Bottas not to attack Hamilton for the lead in the race's closing stages.
I'm going to be staying with the team in 2019 and then there is an option also for 2020," confirmed Bottas.
Hamilton admitted that he didn't know what to do, especially as teammate Valtteri Bottas pitted just in front of him.
At one point, it looked like we might have had a battle for the lead as Bottas cut the deficit to Vettel.
We had a little issue with the pitstop, we came out behind Bottas and then realised I couldn't get him.
The beginning seemed to be very good and I was not far off from Lewis and everything was going to plan,” Bottas explained.
I think this year I have been meeting more or less my targets with the performance for the beginning of the year,” said Bottas.
On face value, Bottas' first five races of this season could be viewed as being less successful than his first five from 2017;
Bottas: You know, we had a bit of a battle lap one after the safety car with Lewis.
It's hard to imagine Bottas would have beaten the imperious Hamilton to the win, especially as the world champion controlled proceedings into the first corner.
Bottas: Yeah, I think everyone definitely has some things they have time to do between the races.
Bottas: Yes, actually it's my second time on the podium here.
A front row start still gives Bottas an excellent chance of victory, though, with only Hamilton ahead of him.
And for a few laps, it looked like it may work as Bottas held off Vettel, with Hamilton to third.
It was then that Perez pounced, passing the German for P4, which became third when Bottas went out.
Ferrari also replicated that strategy with Vettel- putting Bottas into the lead.
