Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel will be eager to win the
Russian Grand Prix title on September 27.
The German star has never won the Russian Grand Prix despite being regarded by many as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport.
Vettel was forced to retire in last year's race with his teammate Charles Leclerc securing a third-place finish.

Mercedes Lewis Hamilton clinched the 2019 Russian Grand Prix title with his teammate Valtteri Bottas securing a second-place finish.
Hamilton also won the recent Tuscan Grand Prix earlier this month with Bottas and Red Bull driver Alexander Albon finishing second and third respectively.
As a result, Hamilton is still placed at the top of this year's Drivers' Championship standings followed by Bottas and Red Bull's Max Verstappen respectively.
Vettel remains position 13 on the Drivers' Championship standings having finished 10th at the Tuscan Grand Prix.

The four-time Formula One world champion says Ferrari should focus on building the cars that can overtake as he prepares for the Russian Grand Prix.
"I don't remember that I had done so many starts in one day. I am not a big fan of that rule," Vettel said.
"Because if you are on the right side of the track is a huge advantage. We should focus on building the cars that can overtake and not throwing the lottery."
Mercedes are still placed at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed McLaren-Renault.
