The Russian Grand Prix<\/a> is back for 2021, the penultimate visit to Sochi before Formula 1 moves to Igora Drive in St Petersberg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen crashing out dramatically in Monza, both title contender will be hoping to get one over their rivals with a win here. It will be tough for Verstappen, though, with Mercedes taking victory at every Russian event since 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are scores to be settled in the support series, too. F3 enters its final weekend with Dennis Hauger and Jack Doohan going into battle for the championship, while F2 is also in action as the rumour mill is rife with speculation around the remaining F1 seat for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you’re on top of all the action with session times<\/a>, support series<\/a>, weather forecast<\/a> and the latest news<\/a> from the weekend, check out this guide with all the information you’ll need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
