For our Sunday 2 for 1, we had two motor racing events wrapped up into one contest and to win, we had to guess the winner in each.
CONTEST ONE - FORMULA 1
The Russian Grand Prix is is an annual auto race held at Sochi Autodrom – a street circuit built around Olympic Park in Sochi, Russia, as part of the Formula One World Championship. The 5.848-kilometre (3.634 mi) circuit is the fourth-longest circuit on the Formula One calendar.
Final results:
WINNER - Lewis Hamilton
2nd - Valtteri Bottas
3rd - Sebastian Vettel
Lewis Hamilton extended his Formula 1 title advantage over Sebastian Vettel to 50 points as he sealed a third straight win at the Russian Grand Prix, with Valtteri Bottas instructed to move over.
It was very close between Bottas, Hamilton and Vettel through the final turns. Bottas continued to lead but as the pair caught the yet-to-stop Max Verstappen, Mercedes issued instructions for Bottas to relinquish position to Hamilton. Bottas dutifully obliged, allowing Hamilton through, with the points leader picking up the race lead when Verstappen made his mandatory stop. Hamilton therefore went on to triumph, with Bottas second, while Vettel drifted away from the scrap across the final stint and took a low-key third.
21 people correctly picked LEWIS HAMILTON
