2016 Russian Formula One Grand Prix - Nico Rosberg Wins 2016 Russian Grand Prix Sunday May 02,2016


Nico Rosberg cruised to victory in the Russian Grand Prix on Sunday May 01,2016  as his title rival and teammate Lewis Hamilton dodged crashes and battled through the pack for second.



Nico Rosberg has won all four of this season's races - seven in a row including victories from last season - and has a hefty 43-point lead over Lewis Hamilton in the title race.

Nico Rosberg became the first driver other than Hamilton to win in Sochi since the Russian race was added to the calendar in 2014, and received his trophy from President Vladimir Putin.


Kimi Raikkonen was third, 6.9 seconds behind Hamilton. Following another race in which Ferrari was far behind Mercedes, the Finn said the result was "not exactly what we want, we want to win races." Raikkonen is third in the standings, 57 points behind Rosberg

Fourth went to Bottas, ahead of Massa and Fernando Alonso, who achieved McLaren's best finish of the season with sixth place. Renault's Kevin Magnussen was seventh, with eighth for Romain Grosjean of Haas, followed by Force India's Sergio Perez and the second McLaren of Jenson Button.
