F1 2020: VTB Russian Grand Prix

The Formula 1 drivers are in for a topsy-turvy Russian Roulette game in Sochi for the Russian Grand Prix and with Lewis Hamilton got slapped with pre-race penalties, looks like the tables are turned.

The Russian Grand Prix could have been the moment where Lewis Hamilton trying to equal Michael Schumacher's F1 wins record but due to the pre-race penalties, that gave him a hard time achieving the feat and failed. Still, could be worse. The opening saw Lance Stroll involved in an accident as well as Carlos Sainz.

The Russian Grand Prix's endgame is Valtteri Bottas named the winner while Max Verstappen finished 2nd and Hamilton finished 3rd.

After Sochi, Hamilton and Bottas are now 44 points between them, 205 vs. 161, while Verstappen's in third place with 128 points.

Next race is the Aramco Grosser Preis der Eifel at the Nurburgring GP Circuit on the 11th of October.
