Grab your vodka and your babushkas, it’s time to prep for the Russian Grand Prix! We’re headed to Sochi — a subtropical resort town and a beautiful vacation destination...for most. Athletes, however, seem to regard the place as more of a bleak nightmare built on a pile of framed Putin portraits. Who’s excited?! During our Digital Warmup, we brush up on what’s been going on in the F1 world over the last week. Then we head into the Sochi Autodrom Track Walk, breaking down circuit details and what to expect from the 2021 Russian GP. Let’s go, boxes!
