How to watch the Russian Grand Prix: Free, online, live stream and F1 TV

The balance of power in Formula 1 has tilted significantly, with Ferrari having won three races in a row ahead of a trip to one of Mercedes' most dominant strongholds at the Russian Grand Prix.

Mercedes have been victorious in Sochi each year sine its introduction to the calendar in 2014, while last year's triumph was laced in controversy after Valtteri Bottas was ordered aside to let Lewis Hamilton win.

The Silver Arrows may need something up their sleeve this time around too, with Ferrari having followed up wins at the power hungry Belgian and Italian Grands Prix with Sebastian Vettel's triumph at the high-downforce Singapore GP.
