Russian Grand Prix 2021- Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track

The Russian Grand Prix is a relatively newer addition to the F1 calendar, with the Sochi Autodrom hosting the Annual event seven times since the first race in 2014. Since then, it has been a regular feature in the Formula One World Championship. The Mercedes team have thrived here, having taken every win since inception.

The Sochi Autodrom, despite being flanked by stunning architectural marvels, isn't a fan favorite circuit due to the nature of the track. Repetitive 90 degree turns make for a rather dull Grand Prix, which has been the case over the past few years.
