A very somber build up to the race

New circuit, though Russia does not deserve it given recent events IMO.

I think Bottas could be the dark horse here.

Let's hope for a safe race

Could be a good shout.

Rosberg has messed up already. Some amazing corners/bends on this track

Couple of nice corners. Pretty boring track though...

Yep. It's gonna be one of those circuits that has a good start but dies out into a precession

The fact you can go 52 laps on 1 set of tyres tells you everything about this track. At least Hamilton's 1st.

One of the worst races of the year in the end. Was looking forward to pure racing on a wide track but there has been nothing doing at all

Exactly, it's been a bore of a race. Felt sorry for the Marussia team with Max retiring so early in an emotional race for them

It's yet another track designed by Hermann Tilke. What do you expect?!? The man is killing F1

Nice to see Hamilton and Rosberg ignoring each other at the weigh in, rather speak to Botas

I didnt think that Russia/Putin had a big issue with the UK obviously much more with the US

Putin milked every photo op there was going as Mercedes win the Constructor's Championship in Russia. It doesn't sit right with me

Yeah, but Hamilton totally ignored Putin afterwards, until he decided to shake his hand as an after-thought. Well done that man.
