A Russian pilot became a hero of the past race weekend in Sochi

Russian pilot team Prema Racing 20 – year-old Robert Schwartzman became the hero of the last race weekend in Sochi, ahead of schedule (one stage before the finish of the championship), winning the title of Champion of "Formula-3".

However, he was second in the first race stage "the Formula-3" in Sochi, and won his teammate 19 – year-old new Zealander Marcus Armstrong, who beat the Russians on the last lap. Third in this race (with a lag of 9.6 C) was the Finn Niko Kari of team Trident. The second race was won by the Estonian team pilot GP Hitech jüri VIPs, ahead of Marcus Armstrong on 2 (which, however, showed the best lap in the race and became the Vice-champion), and the third came Robert Schwartzman, thereby securing the title one race before the end of the championship.

PS the Winner of the yesterday on the Sochi track for the sixth Grand Prix of Russia (16-th stage of the season 2019), was a British racing driver Lewis Hamilton, although the pole is the 4th in a row in his career, won the Monegasque Charles Leclerc. For the Hamilton victory in Sochi was the sixth of the season and 82 in his career. He won second place, was Finn, Valtteri Bottas. Thus, the Mercedes team has won all 6 of the Russian Grand Prix (4 wins from Hamilton and one from Bottas and Rosberg). Experts say that Mercedes won't even 6, and all 8 of the Grand Prix of Russia, if we take into account the race of 1913 and 1914, held in the Russian Empire, which was also won by riders on the cars Benz Blitz (this firm became in 1926 the company Daimler-Benz, which owns and current racing team, "Formula 1").
P. P. S. the Russian pilot team Toro Rosso Daniel Quat actually missed the qualification because of the broken motor, and in the race showed a 12-th place, having started from the pit lane and having spent a strong race, although he left without points.
