Lewis wins

-

Formula One leader Lewis Hamilton has won the Russian Grand Prix in a surprise Mercedes one-two after Ferrari tripped over team orders and were undone by a virtual safety car they triggered. The five-times world champion also banked a bonus for the fastest lap of the race to go 73 points clear of Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas with five races remaining.The Briton cannot clinch the championsh­ip at the next race in Japan but Mexico, round 18 of 21, is looking a distinct possibilit­y.
