Valteri Bottas won the 2020 annual Russian Grand Prix for Mercedes – a street circuit built around Olympic park in Sochi and part of the Formula One World Championship. Max Verstappen of Red Bull finished second.
Lewis Hamilton, Formula One championship leader finished in third place as he picked up time penalties for infringements before the race had even started. Had Hamilton have won the event, it would have been his 91st victory to equal Ferrari’s great Michael Schumacher’s all-time record.
