The track has 18 corners, 12 to the right and 6 to the left, with 1.7 km on public roads. Qualifying gets underway at 15 (14 CET) and Sunday’s race starts at 14.10 (13.10 CET). The first part was really intense, with nine races in eleven weeks, as the world of Formula 1 took on the complex task of tackling the World Championship during a pandemic. The first part of the season proved to be very difficult for the Scuderia, as can be seen from the results. “The Sochi track has a very nice first sector, especially when you tackle turn 3 accelerating flat out. In the second sector, there’s a series of ninety-degree medium speed corners and you need to have a good line going into them. The first target for all the drivers will be to get the most out of qualifying and secure a good position on the grid, as it is not easy to overtake there. I remember the first time I went there with Formula 1, back in 2018.
