Russian Grand Prix

The Russian Grand Prix is an event in motorsport history that dates back to 1924, initially held on circuits such as Ivanovka and Moscow Street. However, it was not part of the Formula One World Championship until 2010 when it was reintroduced at the Sochi Olympic Park circuit in Russia.

Other notable winners include Valtteri Bottas, Sebastian Vettel, and Charles Leclerc.
