Next, the United States Grand Prix in two weeks. We'll be back for that.

Keep checking the site for all the follow-ups from this race.

Thanks for tuning in!
Should Raikkonen get a (likely) penalty, he'll have 20 seconds or so added on to his time. That'll put him eighth - and will, if our maths is correct, give the WCC to Mercedes.
Ninth victory of the season for Hamilton, who is congratulated by Putin.
Vettel celebrates with his mechanics. The German is now second in the standings, seven points ahead of Rosberg.
Hamilton extends his lead in the championship to a massive 66 points over Vettel. He could be champion in the next race in the USA.
We won't repeat what Bottas said on the radio, but it included the F word.
And indeed, the incident between Bottas and Raikkonen will be investigated.
Button and Alonso complete the point-scoring position.
There's no Mercedes WCC for now. But that move from Raikkonen on Bottas could still result in a big penalty.
Kvyat finishes sixth, ahead of Nasr and Maldonado.
Raikkonen was clearly at fault there.
But that incident will surely be investigated after the race...
Massa finishes in fourth, with Raikkonen crossing the line in fifth.
Perez on the podium in the end! Fantastic result for the Mexican.
Second place for Vettel.
Lewis Hamilton wins the Russian GP!
Bottas is out. Raikkonen is crawling around with a damaged car.
Raikkonen and Bottas crash!
Final lap.
Perez has lost two places in one corner. But Raikkonen wants the podium.
And Raikkonen took advantage of that to pass Perez too.
Not anymore! Bottas overtakes the Mexican!
Ricciardo's retirement means the Red Bull intra-team points battle heats up yet again - Kvyat set for 72 to Ricciardo's 73.
But Perez is still holding on.
Raikkonen now right behind Bottas's rear wing.
Fastest lap by Vettel: 1:40.071. He's eight seconds behind Hamilton with less than two laps to go.
Jenson Button's McLaren is now in the points - but that might not matter for WCC, because so is the Sauber of Felipe Nasr and Nasr will be scoring more.
Hamilton has been told not to use DRS. Not that he needs it anyway.
Raikkonen is closing in on Bottas, who can't find a way past Perez.
With this result, Mercedes will not be champion today.
Three laps to go.
Bottas is right behind Perez, who is still holding on to third place.
As the replays show a Russian marshal crossing the track to pick up debris, right in front of Vettel...
Mechanical problem
Ricciardo is out!
Raikkonen is through! The Finn passes Ricciardo for P4 with ease.
Ricciardo under pressure from Raikkonen, as Bottas is just 0.6 behind Perez with five laps left.
And he has just dropped a piece of rear wing on the track as he's trying to make his way back to the pits.
Mechanical problem
The Spaniard has lost the front left brakes. He's out of the race.
Sainz has spun at Turn 10!
