After opening the season in Australia, Bahrain and China, Formula One returns to Europe for the third running of the Russian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton won the first two races at the Sochi Autodrom, but his Mercedes team-mate, Nico Rosberg, has opened the 2016 season with three straight victories (added to the three races he won to finish 2015). Meanwhile, Ferrari and Red Bull are lurking, should the Silver Arrows slip up.

F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone made headlines again for saying he thinks Russian president Vladimir Putin should be in charge of Europe, per the Guardian's Anushka Asthana and Rowena Mason. That is no surprise, though, as Ecclestone has long supported Putin, despite Russia's invasion of Ukraine and human rights abuses, among other problems.

Still, the show will go on.

And what a show it has been so far this season! Despite all the off-track distractions about qualifying formats and engine regulations, the three races so far have all been entertaining.

Also, two familiar faces are returning to the paddock this weekend. Toro Rosso hired John Booth, formerly of Manor, as their new director of racing, and Renault announced their signing of former Sauber test driver Sergey Sirotkin to a development contract that includes a free practice outing in Russia.

Keep reading for a full race weekend preview, including TV times, current championship standings, a circuit map and guide, tyre and DRS information, weather forecast, odds and session times.
