Formula 1 heads to Russia what could be a record equalling weekend for two drivers - Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton. Raikkonen just needs to start the race and he'll equal Rubens Barrichello's record for race starts, while Hamilton is 1 race win away from Michael Schumacher's hallowed and "unbeatable" 91 race wins. This has traditionally been a Bottas circuit, and is one that Mercedes are unbeaten at. I mean, I'm trying to set this up with some intrigue, but the Sochi Autodrom has location inside an Olympic Park as literally the only good thing about it. I hope you like 90 degree corners, because apart from the epic Turn 3 and the interesting braking point through Turn 12 into 13, it's all samey. The forecast is looking dry and Mercedes are looking favourites again. I can't really sell this race, if anyone enjoys the Russian GP, please tell me why and how to enjoy it down below. Otherwise, get ready to endure the RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX!
