- RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX – RAIKKONEN ON THE PODIUM IN SOCHI
- KIMI THIRD. SEBASTIAN OUT OF LUCK, HIT SHORTLY AFTER THE START
1 May 2016.– Kimi Raikkonen came third in the Russian Grand Prix. The Finn lost a place to Valtteri Bottas in the early stages, but a clever strategy saw Kimi retake third off his fellow countryman after his only pit stop. Raikkonen thus moves up to third in the Drivers’ classification, after four rounds of the World Championship. Sebastian Vettel’s Russian Grand Prix lasted just a few hundred metres. The German got off the line well, but was hit twice by Daniil Kvyat in the Red Bull, which sent him spinning into the barriers on the outside of Turn 3. Nico Rosberg won for Mercedes.
