Description Russian Grand Prix 2020 takes place over 53 laps of the 5.848-kilometre Sochi Autodrom on Sunday, September 27. Designed by Hermann Tilke, the Sochi Autodrom is effectively a street circuit, evolving out of the internal roads of the park built for the city’s 2014 Winter Olympics.
Lewis Hamilton's quest for the all-time record of Formula 1 wins was put on hold when he was hit with penalties at the Russian Grand Prix.
Hamilton's Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas dominated after the world champion was given a 10-second penalty for doing two illegal practice starts.
Hamilton was initially given two penalty points to put him two away from an automatic one-race ban.
But these were later rescinded on the basis the team were at fault.
Bottas' victory meant he cut Hamilton's championship lead to 44 points.
