F1 Grand Prix of Russia - Qualifying — Mercedes locks the front row of the grid

#1 Bottas is still the man to beat in qualifying

Valtteri Bottas out-qualified his teammate yet again at the Sochi Autodrom. Through the years, the Finn has produced some impressive qualifying displays at the Russian Grand Prix and this year was no different.

Bottas was second to Lewis Hamilton in both Q1 and Q2, but a resurgent drive by the Finn in the final qualifying session saw him pip the Briton by 0.145 seconds for a memorable pole position, which was his second of the season.

Mercedes locked the front row of the grid, and if history is anything to go by, expect yet another dominating performance by the Silver Arrows at the Sochi Street Circuit.
