Russian Grand Prix: Hamilton Wins On The Streets Of Sochi

Lewis Hamilton has taken a commanding win on the streets of the Russian resort town of Sochi, his main title rival ending his day early with an obscure part failure on his throttle pedal.

A late race contretemps between the two Finnish drivers, Bottas and Raikkonen, saw Sergio Perez take an unlikely - and well-deserved - third place and Mercedes secure the 2015 Constructor's title.

Daniel Ricciardo suffered a failure less than fifteen laps from home, the Australian having made the most of an ambitious tyre strategy.

PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING

Friday in Sochi was mostly underwater, with Nico Hulkenberg topping FP1.  

Felipe Massa, in a Williams that has thus far regarded water with the fondness akin to the way cats regard a bath, topped FP2.
