LIVE: The Russian Grand Prix!
Live
It's time for the Russian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton leads from pole and Max Verstappen starts alongside him on the front-row of the grid for the first time since the Styrian Grand Prix. Valtteri Bottas starts from third who will join the Dutchman with the tow on the run down to turn two! Follow it all via the GPblog live blog below!
To add to the excitment, Hamilton will be starting on the soft tyres. He had hoped to start on the mediums, but due to the drama in Q2, the World Championship leader had to set his fastest time on the softs. Bottas and Verstappen will start on the mediums. The temperature is higher than previous days.
Sergio Perez leads the battle for the best of the rest. The Racing Point driver has Daniel Ricciardo breathing down his neck. The McLaren duo have looked strong during the weekend and will be in the mix.
What can Albon do?
Ferrari will hope to make up for places, just like Alexander Albon. Due to a grid penalty, the Thai has to start from 15th place, but the driver of Red Bull Racing has already shown several times that he can overtake well, so we will see that again this afternoon.
