After a week off, Formula 1 returns to action with the Russian Grand Prix at the Sochi od Todrom.
Following the dramatic Tuscan GP at Mugello, who was stopped by two red flags, Lewis Hamilton claimed victory against Mercedes team-mate Valteri Bottas to extend his F1 World Championship lead to 55 points.
The Mercedes pair is still undefeated in the circuit with the German manufacturer in the 2020 F1 season to move towards making Sochi a huge favorite since it was included in the F1 World Championship calendar in 2014.
Hamilton has a chance to top the all-time F1 winning list with Michael Schumacher after winning the 90th of his career at Mugello.
Red Bull will be hoping for a fight with rejuvenated Max Verstapen after suffering a series of retirements due to mechanical problems at Monza and Mugello.
The Milton Cannes-based team will also be hopeful that Alexander Alban can come to Russia with new confidence when his first lady F1 podium Tuscan GP. Was last out in.
Ferrari, the F1’s biggest underperformer this season, will offer a small upgrade package this week but team principal Matia Binoto has already said they will not “change the big picture”. The F1’s midfield remains highly competitive, leading to a mix of familiar, old favorite and unfamiliar circuits with eight races spanning the next 11 weeks in the second half of the shaky 2020 season.
