Race results - Russia 2014 - McLaren finish well, but Bottas makes it onto the podium
Published by Christine
Lewis Hamilton took victory from Nico Rosberg, with the German having to put in a great recovery drive - almost the whole race on one set of tyres. Behind them, Bottas was best of the rest, with Jenson Button finishing well in fourth, but sounding pretty disappointed by the whole weekend after the race. Kevin Magnussen was just behind his teammate, too, in a great result for McLaren.
Only two retirements occurred during the race, and we didn't see the safety car at all. Kamui Kobayashi and Max Chilton both retired with brake and suspension failure respectively.
