Formula 1 has terminated its contract with the Russian Grand Prix.
The sport’s commercial arm, which controls the calendar, has decided racing in the country is impossible in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.
The race in Sochi scheduled for September this year has already been cancelled. There will now no longer be a race in St Petersburg, where it was due to move in 2023.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was key in establishing the event in 2014.
