The championship leader enjoyed another untroubled race in Russia, converting pole position into victory once again after cruising away from his main rivals.It"s the German"s seventh consecutive grand prix win; a feat only Alberto Ascari, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel have achieved before in the entire history of the sport.The gap in the standings to second placed Lewis Hamilton now stands at 43 points, a commanding lead which the German has built up just four races into the new season.Granted there are 17 grands prix still to go in the race for the title, but even at this early stage Hamilton is going to need a lot of luck to overturn such a large deficit.
