Never a dull day in Formula One Racing !
That certainly applied to the Russian Grand Prix. Congratulations Valtteri Bottas.
What a surprise and thrill for him to win his first F1 GP.
I'd want a pic with this legend too.

You wouldn't believe the bad luck that Fernando Alonso is having with his car letting him down even before Lap 1 !
Good luck at the Indy 500 in USA Fernando on May 28th.
Palmer (Renault) and Grosjean (Haas) clashed early on. Bad luck Ricciardo with rear brakes on fire at Lap 6 forcing a withdrawal.
So just a summary of those results:
