Bottas eases to Sochi win over Verstappen as penalty leaves Hamilton P3
Sochi
[27 September 2020]
Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas scored his second win of 2020 at the
Russian Grand Prix, benefitting from a penalty for his polesitting
team mate Lewis Hamilton that left the six-time champion third at
the flag, as Max Verstappen claimed Red Bull’s first ever podium
at Sochi in P2.
Hamilton began the race on the back foot, after a pair of practice start infringements on his laps to the grid led to him being handed a 10s penalty mid-race, ruling him out of contention for the win, as he came home in P3.
Bottas, meanwhile, had passed Verstappen for second at the race start, before benefitting from Hamilton’s penalty to enjoy an untroubled run to the chequered flag for the ninth win of his career, at the venue where he scored his first back in 2017. It would have been an important confidence booster for Bottas, too, with the Finn’s previous victory having come at the season- opening Austrian Grand Prix back in July.
