SOCHI, Russia – Having just become the first current Formula One driver to lap the newly completed Sochi Autodrom in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel gives his thoughts on the new circuit.
The INFINITI Red Bull Racing driver and INFINITI Director of Performance travelled straight to Sochi from Spa Francorchamps after finishing fifth in the Belgian Grand Prix. After a tour of the venue's facilities, he completed a number of high-speed laps of the full Grand Prix circuit in an INFINITI Q50 Hybrid.
The Sochi Autodrom, designed by famed Formula One architect, Hermann Tilke, features 18 corners across 5.8 kilometers and will host round 16 of the 2014 World Championship on October 12.
