From September 27 to 29, the Sochi Autodrom will host the 16th race of the 2019 Formula 1 World Championship.
In 2010, the contract to host the Russian GP in Sochi was signed and four years later, the circuit was completed.
Built within the Olympic Park used for the Winter Olympic Games in 2014, the circuit stands out for the 650 meters (0.4 miles) curve at turn 3, the longest curve in all of the World Championship.
