Latest reports out of Sochi Autodrom being flooded casts doubt over the upcoming Russian GP. It has been raining non-stop and were so heavy that part of the paddock was flooded.
This comes in as a bad news for the fans all over the world as they did not want to lose any other race day because of rain after what happened at Spa in the Belgian GP. Several pictures have also emerged out of the track that show the condition of the track.
There were also F2 and F3 races planned out for the weekend. Which also look to be in doubt as the weather does not seem to get clear anytime soon.
With the race for the Driver’s championship getting really interesting between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton the fans will hope to see some action come race day.
