Ladies and gentlepeople’s welcome to the Russian Grand Prix race thread brought to you by many shots of Vodka and the man who cannot be tamed, Vladimir Putin. Last year’s race was boring as Nico screwed up on the first lap and Pirelli were too conservative with the tyre choices, so hopefully we see a much more competitive race with the Super Softs and Softs, they tyres of choice this weekend.
I would anticipate pole time to be1.5 secs ahead of what it was last season so if you are playing our prediction game on zdkf1, remember that. Please also put your predictions in, we are doing quite well this season.
Niki Lauda is a bit concerned we could see a repeat of Singapore here as Mercedes struggled on the softs and supersofts but we shall see.
Some Technical Stuff
“The track width varies from 13 metres at its narrowest point to 15 metres at the start-finish line. The circuit, which runs in a clockwise direction, consists of 12 right- and six left-hand corners, and combines both high-speed and technical sections. Formula One cars are expected to reach a maximum speed of 320 km/h on the 650-metre straight between the first and second turns, with an average lap speed of around 215 km/h. “
“The circuit is going to be very fast and technical and offering a number of interesting features," says Tilke of the 55,000-capacity venue. “It is a fantastic facility with a great atmosphere and it will be outstanding as the circuit will run through the Olympic Park.

To be fair to Kimi, he's not going to apologies before the Stewards have made their decision. If he's DQ'd Mercedes win the constructors...

""No chance lewis would let nico through"" Rosberg won't need any help if he keeps driving like he has done in Sotchi. Humbled Hamilton throughout.

If Hamilton leads a Mercedes 1-2 in Austin, he wins the title!
He has to finish 9 points ahead of Vettel and 2 points ahead of Rosberg.
