Yes, Lewis Hamilton was the winner at the Russian Grand Prix, but the real news came from Ferrari, as Sebastian Vettel disobeyed team orders and a virtual safety car ended up taking the lead from Charles LeClerc, leaving Hamilton and the Silver Arrows to take the victory. Hamilton had not won in four races before taking first in Russia, and this was the first one-two finish for the Silver Arrows since July, when they pulled it off at the British Grand Prix. Valtteri Bottas, Hamilton’s teammate, could catch Hamilton, although it is more likely that Hamilton will push to a victory, perhaps as soon as the Mexico race. This weekend, if Hamilton and Bottas finish one-two again, they would clinch the Constructors’ Championship for Mercedes. We have the F1 odds for each driver at Suzuka as well as thoughts about the teams.
