The only exceptions were Bottas, third in 2014 for Williams, Sergio Perez third for Force India in 2015 and Max Verstappen's second for Red Bull in 2020. Bottas started on the front row in Sochi in 2016, took the first race win of his F1 career there in 2017 and was on pole in 2018. He won again in 2020 with fastest lap.
