The 2018 Russian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 30 September 2018 at the Sochi Autodrom in Sochi. The race was the 16th round of the 2018 Formula One World Championship.

The race was one of controversy, as Mercedes enacted team orders to swap their two drivers, handing Lewis Hamilton the win and Valtteri Bottas would move to 2nd place for the race finish. The race result sparked discussion regarding the future of team orders in the sport, and some even going as to call for an outright ban on the practice.
