The 2021 Russian GP held at Sochi Autodrom is usually one of the dullest races, and boy were we surprised! With 3 different people leading the race in different parts of the race, and rain completely putting the grid on its head, it gave us one of the best Russian GPs! With only 2 points separating the championship contenders and only 7 races to go we are in for a exciting championship battle!
