Russian GP: Mercedes power 1-2-3 in final practice

Lewis Hamilton

Mercedes power continues to rule F1 in 2014. In final practice for the Russian GP Saturday morning if you did not have a Mercedes power unit behind you, then you were at least 1-second off the pace.

Lewis Hamilton again set the pace over his teammate Nico Rosberg by 0.290 seconds.

7 minutes before the session was over Hamilton spun, which ended his session, but it did not matter, such was his dominance.

Valtteri Bottas in his Mercedes powered Williams was third, followed by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and the second Williams of Felipe Massa.
