fucking snore.
Yeah, as one of the BBC guys said, we've had some great races this year, and that wasn't one of them.
Basically two things spoiled it. Pirelli hadn't been given any data on the tarmac, so they had to go conservative with hard tyres, however it turned out to be super-smooth and so the tyres didn't wear at all. The other problem was Nico, he again failed to actually race Lewis fair and square, instead making yet another mistake that put him out of contention.
That was a shame. Also, I think once that happened Lewis was just cruising. If they both were fighting, I think they would have pulled out a lot more on Valteri.
Overall a real snoozefest.
They should really do some kind of extra test to know which tires to have at new, unknown venues. Or bring three compounds, and choose after FP1.
I don't think the track was even completed until just before the race weekend.

Yeah and the political side just added the bit of stink needed to make the race utterly irrelevant.
acket.
Worst. Episode. Ever. #RussianGP
Don't blame him RT @Mattzel89 #Putin has already finished the race #RussianGP
Part of the problem was most of the teams banked on a safety car at some point and purposefully under fuelled the cars. When the SC didn't happen they had to go conservative on strategy which made for a dull race.
What if this happened?
