Lewis Hamilton won his 100th Formula 1 race as the last laps in the Russian Grand Prix caused by heavy rain dashed Lando Norris’ hopes of a maiden victory.
The rain also helped Hamilton’s title rival Max Verstappen valut from seventh to second in his Red Bull after timing his change to wet tyres perfectly.
British, Lewis Hamilton is back in the title lead with only two points advantage to second placed Max Verstappen.
Hamilton already held the record for most F1 wins with Michael Schumacher next in the all-time list with 91 wins.
McLaren’s Norris, who took his maiden pole position on Saturday, was leading with five laps to go in his McLaren when it started to rain.
Hamilton was 14.9 seconds behind Norris a lap after he had stopped, but the rain was by now so bad that the seventh-time champion caught the McLaren within five more corners and swept by into the lead.
Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who also stopped for tyres at the same time as Verstappen, took third, while McLaren’s Dainel Ricciardo and Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas also benefited from early stops for treaded tyres to take fourth and fifth ahead of Alonso
