Russian Grand Prix at Sochi, Russia has concluded with the familiar faces on top but to everyone’s surprise, the sensational driver Lewis Hamilton is not holding the first position.
Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas in the Formula One race put his best foot forward to clinch the position from his teammate Hamilton while the second position was grabbed by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

Though British racer Hamilton started extraordinarily from his pole position in a race where he could have equalled his victory to Michael Schumacher’s record, the racer faced two penalties, toppling down to the third position.
With the victory of Valtteri, Mercedes remains undisputed on the track of Sochi, Russia since the circuit was added to Formula One calendar in 2014.
VALTTERI: "Once I was in clean air I felt that the pace was pretty awesome and that I could control everything.
"Never give up. It's a good day. It's nice to get another win as it's been a while and I now need to keep the momentum going"#RussianGP 🇷🇺 #F1 pic.twitter.com/QUFm6kjiQo
