The Formula 1 circus heads to Sochi’s Olympic Park in Russia for the fourth round of the 2017 season. After a great race in Bahrain, can Russia deliver a classic?

Oh no, an engine-related grid penalty is about to be, after just 3 races!

Which engine manufacturer could this be related to?

This is the stupidity of the penalties for these ridiculous rules.

You now have Vandoorne "losing" 15 places on the grid for this race, and Ferrari just one turbo change away from a grid penalty. Also just on the cusp are both Sauber and Haas.

As I say, stupid and ridiculous.

as the season progresses, surely this is an advantage for LH and Merc.

i understand why the rules are the way they are but now that we actually have a competitive season playing out, hearing about potential penalties to Ferrari down the road takes the shine off of the season.

lots of races to go so are we supposed to hope for Merc to hit a patch of unreliability as well?...hardly seems sporting and certainly not very much fun.

Ferrari are saying they are fitting new turbos because this is quite a horsepower dependant track, and that the previous two are still serviceable and will see races later in the season. I suppose this makes sense, and they could roll out their final turbo for Monza (/Spa).

FA has let Honda have it. Again. He's not a happy chap at the moment is he? Can't blame him really.

Would dearly like to see FA toe to toe with LH and SV (and DR even) fighting for the win before he retires from F1. But I don't think we'll be so lucky.

Hulkenberg showing what's possible in the Renault with a good driver.

Hulkenberg P7 during Q1. Palmer P16!

Congrats to Ferrari on a front row shut out. I think the last time that happened was in 2008? I'll have to trawl the archives. Let's see if they can capitalise on his with another win for Vettel.

But far less to explain the difference between the two Mercs. When was LH last out-qualified by a team mate to the tune of a full half a second? He's seemed off-colour all weekend, but even so...His interview afterwards spoke volumes – far too smiley and insouciant. Deep down he's hurting...

First all Ferrari front row for nearly a decade! Shows they were not quite there before, but now seem to be a real title challenger to Mercedes. Kimi seems to finally be getting on top of the car, nearly getting pole. And Valterri outqualifies Lewis again. Can't wait for the race

Toto Wolff said to Valterri Bottas in China that he needs to be more like Lewis Hamilton if he wants to have a chance of the title. And it looks like a new Bottas has turned up in Russia. A bit more like Hamilton.

The field is being sent out on another formation lap as Vandoorne's McLaren gives up the ghost before the original formation lap was completed.

A clean start and Bottas manages to get the better of the Ferrari's and takes the lead.

FCY as Palmer t-bones Grosjean.

Both McLarens out before the race started. I wonder if Sauber are having second thoughts about that PU deal?
