To Russia with love

A pretty recent 'look back' today with this unmistakably Russian scene from last year's inaugural Grand Prix at Sochi Autodrom, which saw Lewis Hamilton win the race after starting from pole position and leading every lap. His team mate Nico Rosberg had a very different time of it on his way to second place however, forced to work his way from the back after having to make an unscheduled early pit stop. Their eventual 1-2 success confirmed Mercedes as the 2014 Formula One constructors champions at the end of of the race.

In just seven day's time we'll already be midway through the second Russian Grand Prix. Will Hamilton be having similar success as he did last year, or will it be Rosberg's turn to get back on top and reduce the deficit in the drivers championship? Time will tell!
