Latest - 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.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc was third while team mate Sebastian Vettel, who resisted pressure to give back a lead gained at the start with the young Monegasque's assistance, retired.

By the time the women's 100m hit the track for their race, the last of the night the stadium had almost emptied.
