The Formula One spotlight settles on Sochi this weekend, so it's time to look ahead to and preview the 2015 Russian Grand Prix.

The Sochi Autodrom will host the sport's newest event for only the second time, and once again, it could prove to be a title decider. Mercedes sealed the constructors' championship here last season—if they score three more points than Ferrari in Sunday's race, the crown will be theirs with four rounds to spare.

But the team's drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, will have all their focus on a different prize altogether. The drivers' championship cannot be decided in Russia, but the result of the race will no doubt have a major impact on who takes the 2015 title.

Sebastian Vettel is also mathematically in the mix. Though he could still—in theory—end up on top of the pile, it's very difficult to see his Ferrari having enough pace between now and the end of the year. Unless something truly remarkable happens, there are only two horses in this title race—and both of them are silver.

Hamilton is the only man in the world to have won a Russian Grand Prix, and he takes a 48-point lead into the race. Rosberg knows he can't afford for that gap to grow any larger—and he certainly can't afford a repeat of last season, where he pushed too hard under pressure and took himself out of contention.

The German simply has to win. And if he's again outqualified by Hamilton, the very long run down to the first corner could be his secret weapon.

Read on for a full preview of the weekend ahead, including a circuit map and detailed guide, TV times, session times, tyre and DRS information, current standings, weather and odds.
