Valtteri Bottas has moved aside to let Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton win the Russian Grand Prix and surge 50 points clear in the Formula One championship with five races remaining.
The victory on Sunday was a landmark 70th for the Briton, who’s well on his way to a fifth title and is now 21 wins behind the record of 91 held by seven times champion Michael Schumacher.
Hamilton’s closest rival Sebastian Vettel finished third for Ferrari with Bottas, who led from pole position but was told to let Hamilton through after 25 of the 53 laps, taking second place.
