$RACE
Lewis Hamilton took his 100th Grand Prix victory in a Russian Grand Prix that started in dry conditions and ended under rain, the MercedesAMG driver making a late switch to intermediate tires to take the lead when pole-sitter Lando Norris agonizingly slid out of the lead with just 2 laps left. Max Verstappen made it from P20 to P2, and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz took 3rd having started 2nd.
