Formula 1 heads to the Sochi Autodrom&n🌼bsp;for the penultimate time for this weekend's Russian Gra๊nd Prix.
Since its introductiওon to the F1 calen🅠dar in 2014, Mercedes has been unbeatable, winning every race.
Max Verstappen has a three-place grid penalty for this weekend after his collision with 🍸Lewis Hamilton, so Red Bull might decide to give him a fresh power unit and start him from the back of the grid.
That's the case with Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc starting Sunday's race from the back due🏅 to en🍎gine penalties.
What to expect from this weekend?
Pirelli has nominated the C3, C4 and C5 tyres for this weekend - the softe🐭st in its range.
Dry conditions are expected on Friday, while rain is forecast for Saturday and Sun🐻day.
