The F1 Russian Grand Prix is coming up this weekend in Sochi. This eagerly anticipated event was held for the first time in 2014. That year, the race was won by Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton, who was in the middle of a five-race win streak. Hamilton won the drivers' title that year. The Russian circuit is challenging and stands out from others with its epic Turn 3, a corner that takes drivers to the left with a constant radius of 750 m. The rest of the track is dynamic and features a series of 90-degree corners with several fast and flowing straights, but they are not straight. The track is 5,848 meters long, which places it in fifth place in terms of length.
The circuit has 18 curves that subject the braking systems to a lot of stress. We can say that in terms of mechanical and thermal stress on the brakes, Sochi equals the difficulty created by the Monza circuit. The circuit is very difficult and problematic even for the drivers who must be 100% concentrated.
The race will help us to define more clearly the eventual final winner of the drivers' championship. The stakes are high. After 14 races and the end of the championship approaching, the teams are fighting without holding back. Since Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton are separated by only five points in the race for the drivers' title, we can expect a good fight for the title. Neither of them is thinking of lifting their foot off the accelerator as we saw in Monza where already at the first chicane the two got tangled up well thus creating an accident that was fortunately not fatal. We saw Verstappen's car rather aggressive and aggressively pass over the Mercedes. Hamilton missed the opportunity to overtake Verstappen in the standings, but many still give Hamilton as the favorite for the drivers' title, perhaps also because he is a regular winner even if he has not been at his best lately.
Many betting sites are already working on the Live event and the odds and predictions are varied, the ones on the site are very interesting Bwin. Looking at the overview of various sites we see that it is not certain who will be on the podium this time, but as we have already said, Hamilton is the favorite. The odds of winning in Sochi according to the predictions of the betting sites are in this order: Lewis Hamilton, Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Due to the Verstappen-Hamilton accident, the Dutchman was put in third place for the start and consequently this puts the Englishman in pole position regarding the odds for the Russian GP and if it is the case, also at the top of the favorites for the drivers' title. For the constructors' title, clearly in the lead compared to others are Mercedes and Red Bull and as such they are also at the top with the odds for betting as winners of the F1 constructors' world championship.
News about the Ferrari team
Ferrari will finally make the long-awaited debut with the new hybrid system. This system will only be installed on Charles Leclerc's car. The driver will start from the back due to the penalty for switching to the fourth power unit of the season. Ferrari will not install the new system on both cars so as not to start both cars from the back. This will be a very important test due to the new component designed for the new future engine to be used in 2022. So Ferrari will have the answers from the best test which is the race and the asphalt of a track that is quite demanding for engines. It is clear that McLaren in Monza showed that they are superior, but after qualifying it is hoped that Ferrari believes they are not too far from McLaren who will certainly be put under pressure. The challenge for third place in the constructors' championship is possible and real. It will certainly not be easy to start with the second car at the back, but Ferrari believes that any result will be possible.
There are still 7 races to go until the end of the championship. On September 26th the Russian GP, October 3rd the Turkish GP, October 24th the USA GP, October 31st the Mexican GP, November 7th the Brazilian GP, December 5th the Saudi Arabia GP and December 12th the Abu Dhabi GP.
