Mercedes AMG Petronas win F1 Constructors’ Championship 2015

After a very tense Russian Grand Prix in Sochi, the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team has now won the World Constructors’ Championship for the second year in a row. Unfortunately Nico Rosberg retired from yesterday’s race which put the pressure on Lewis Hamilton to finish ahead of the Ferrari duo. Lewis held on to the lead of the race winning it by some margin, however the finishing positions of the Ferraris meant Mercedes F1 missed out on sealing the Championship in Russia. However, in a strange twist of fate, Kimi Raikkonen crashed into Valtteri Bottas in the last moments of the Grand Prix which later earned him a 30 second time penalty which then meant Mercedes AMG Petronas were champions once more! #wonmoretime
