What are they saying?
Max Verstappen:
“It’s a special track and it’s still very new. It’s also in the middle of the Olympic Park and that gives a special atmosphere to it. The corners are mostly 90 degrees, which you normally never experience.”
Sebastian Vettel:
"I do not think we will have problems in Sochi due to there being lower temperatures than in Bahrain. In China it was cool and we were competitive. Our task is to keep putting pressure on our opponents, primarily Lewis Hamilton. Until now, Ferrari has had perfect tactics but we need to keep concentrating fully on the job."
What are the odds?
Lewis Hamilton 10/11
Sebastian Vettel 7/4
Valtteri Bottas 5/1
Kimi Raikkonen 20/1
Max Verstappen 33/1
Daniel Ricciardo 40/1
