The 2014 Formula One Russian Grand Prix was the first to bear the name, and unless the title fight develops in a certain way that's likely to be the only reason it will be remembered.

An unholy trinity of excessive fuel consumption, lack of tyre degradation and a fairly uninspiring circuit conspired to deliver a race in which very little happened and few drivers had a chance to shine.

Race winner Lewis Hamilton cruised to the easiest win of his F1 career, while Nico Rosberg put in a beautiful recovery drive to finish second—but he was fixing an error of his own making.

Valtteri Bottas rounded off the podium. The Finn could maybe have given Rosberg more of a race had he stopped a few laps earlier, but had to settle for the fastest lap instead.

The stand-out performer near the front of the field was perhaps Jenson Button, while Marcus Ericsson's qualifying effort is worthy of applause.

But aside from individual moves, it's hard to think of any more top-class showings.

 

Note on Power Rankings

These rankings should not be confused with the actual championship table.

Rather than looking solely at points, they also take into account race results, qualifying, overall performance of each driver and how they stack up against their team-mates. The relative pace of each driver's car is factored in, as is the identity of his team-mate.

Only performances at the last six races are considered.

The previous rankings, based on the six races up to and including the Japanese Grand Prix, are here. All position changes are relative to positions in that article.
