GPFans Staff Thursday 19 May 2022 07:00

F1 has decided against replacing the Russian Grand Prix for the current season, meaning the sport won't reach its record-breaking mark of 23 races this year.

It is understood the sport did not want to add extra burden to teams with costs for freight and inflation are rising among other factors.

GPFans asks you, the fans, whether opting against replacing the Sochi event is the right course of action.
