Lewis Hamilton wins the Russian GP with Seb Vettel second and Sergio Perez third.
After finishing second Sebastian Vettel also passed Rosberg in the title standings.
Force India’s Sergio Perez was a fine third after Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen dramatically collided with Williams’ Valtteri Bottas on the final lap.
Hamilton’s ninth win this season means he needs nine more points than Vettel and two more than Rosberg at the next race in the USA to clinch the title.
Raikkonen’s eventual fifth place turned to eighth when he was given a 30-second time penalty after the race for causing the crash.
