Organisers of the Russian GP are close to selling out tickets for the race at Sochi in late September. While dark covid-shaped clouds hang over some other venues scheduled to host races later in 2021, Sochi is pressing ahead with plans for a 50 percent capacity crowd. “This season, like last year, the capacity of the Sochi Autodrom has been agreed to be 50 percent of the total occupancy,” promoter Rosgonki said in a statement. “Our advantage is that we already have practical experience in organising competitive events with a high level of prevention of the spread of coronavirus infection.”.
