Russian GP 2014 – Race – Results

Lewis Hamilton wins the inaugural Russian GP as Mercedes AMG Petronas wraps up the Constructors Championship.

Lewis Hamilton was in total control of the race from start to finish and one must say he had it easy after his teammate Nico Rosberg made a crucial mistake in turn one and was forced to change tyres after just 1 lap.

Williams’s Valtteri Bottas was third ahead of McLaren’s Jenson Button.

The Englishman had been in a battle with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, but the Spaniard dropped back behind the second McLaren of Kevin Magnussen after Ferrari mechanics screwed up during his pitstop.

Alonso fended off a challenge from Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo and managed to keep the Australian behind for more than fifteen laps and finished the race in sixth place.
