Formula 1 heads to the Sochi Au🤪ℱtodrom for the 2021 Russian Grand Prix on the back of yet another controversial incident between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.

As a result of the paiꩲr’s crash at Monza, Verstappen was handed a t🅰hree-place grid penalty for his role in the incident.

Red Bull might decide to take a new engine in Russia, although the weather forecast is set to be wet so it might hold off ꦕa little bit longer.

Mercedes has dominated the Russian GP, winning every race since it was introduced to the calendar in 2014✅.
