From 27 to 29 September runs the GP of Russia 2019 Formula 1 on the Sochi circuit: here's how to see the race in free streaming and TV
From 27 to 29 September runs in Sochi the GP of Russia 2019 Formula 1, the last European round of the calendar before the move to Asia and the American continent. Ferrari arrives at this appointment after racking up three consecutive victories on circuits very different from each other (Spa, Monza and Singapore), a sign that the third engine specification arrived in Belgium has brought great benefits to the car.
The victory in Singapore has surprised everyone, even the insiders. On paper, the circuit was not suited to the characteristics of the Red, but an excellent team strategy allowed Vettel to win and Leclerc to finish second, for a Ferrari one-two that had been missing for more than a year. And now, in Sochi, the Maranello team is aiming for the poker, a goal that only two months ago seemed impossible. The first free practice of the 2019 Russian GP confirmed the excellent health of Ferrari and especially of Leclerc, among the fastest both on the single lap and on the race simulation (more than half a second ahead of Mercedes). Verstappen, who seemed to be in great shape in free practice, will have to serve a penalty of five positions on the grid for changing a part of the engine.
