The latest F1 Nation podcast previews this weekend's Russian Grand Prix with Natalie Pinkham and Tom Clarkson discussing whether Valtteri Bottas can win again at Sochi – while Bottas himself also drops by for a chat.
The track on the shores of the Black Sea holds happy memories for the Finn: it’s where he took his first F1 victory back in 2017, and he won there in 2020 as well. The Mercedes driver is always super strong in Russia, but he thinks three teams will be fighting for the win this year.
He also reveals what he’ll miss about Mercedes, why he’s excited about leading Alfa Romeo, and the tough choice of company car he’ll have at his new team...
Plus, Tom talks about his skydiving cameo in the SCHUMACHER documentary (out now on Netflix), Natalie discusses her secret mission with Aston Martin, and they debate who's going to get the final seat on the 2022 grid.
