Palmer: Sochi penalties 'killed off' chance of intriguing battle

Former Renault F1 driver Jolyon Palmer says that the penalties handed down to Lewis Hamilton for a pre-race infraction wrecked the chance for a classic battle in Sunday's Russian Grand Prix. Hamilton was handed two five second penalties for conducting practice race starts out of the designated area on the way to the grid.
