After another short brea📖k, Formula 1 is back in business as it returns to the Nurburgring for the Eifel Grand Prix. 

Having not been on the calendar since🦩 2013, F1 returns to a legendary venue in tไhe Nurburgring - home to the intimidating Nordschleife.

Given the time of year, the weathe💦r surely will play its part with cold and wet conditions expected throughout the duration of the weekend.

The Eifel Grand Prix marks a🍌 run of races where F1 hasn't been at in some time, such as Imola and Turkey, or where F1 hasn't raced at such ⛄at like Portimao before heading to the Middle East to close this unique season.

The Russian Grand Prix proved to be a decisive one in the race for 2020 F1 drivers' crown as Valtteri Bottas returned to winning ways at the S🐼ochi Autodrom to claim his second race victory of the season.

The Finn endured a difficult qualifying session but bounced back in the race as overtook Max Verstappen at the start and then challenged t🐷eammate 😼Lewis Hamilton into Turn 1.

Fortune seemed to favour Bottas on this occasion when Hamilton was handed t🔯wo separate time penaltiꦍes for practice start infringements allowing Bottas and Max Verstappen to jump him through the stops.

Bottas went onto claim his second win in Russia ahead of Verstap🦩pen and Hamilton.

The gap i🗹n the cha💝mpionship now sits at 44 points with seven rounds remaining.

In terms of the midfield fight, Sergio P𝔉erez headed the pack in fourth place in Russia - beating Daniel Ricciardo, who was the lead Renault in fifth.

McLaren sits third in the constructors' championship, just two points ahead of🐻 Racing Point, while Renault is a further five points back in fifth.

What to expect from this weekend?

Pirelli has nominate𒁃d the C2, C3 and C4 compounds for this weekend - the same as at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps. 

With rain expected, keep an eye on th🐼e 'wet weather specialists' - Hamilton, Verstappen, Esteban Ocon and La🤡nce Stroll often fare best in the wet.
