Valtteri Bottas holds off late Sebastian Vettel charge for first F1 win
Sochi [30 April 2017]
Valtteri Bottas held off a late charge from Sebastian Vettel to claim his maiden Formula One win at the Russian Grand Prix, crossing the line just 0.6 ahead of the Ferrari driver.
An early Safety Car failed to liven up the race for the lead and the processional race only came alive in the closing stint as Vettel slashed away at Bottas' lead, albeit to no avail. Raikkönen claimed a much-needed first podium of 2017 in the other Ferrari, ahead of Lewis Hamilton, whose frustrating weekend continued with a lonely and agitated drive to fourth position.
The three-time world champion failed to jump either red car into Turn 2 and spent much of the race nursing his overheating Mercedes around the Sochi Autodrom, and he finished a massive 36 seconds behind his Mercedes teammate.
