Anyway.....Moby, I found a touristy restaurant/bar that brews their own beer in Kharkov on the square that was able to get the Sochi GP on its TV. It was only televised on a Russian channel.
Great
I only just watched it - I've been sailing all day and didn't view your response - in case you told me the result
If you saw the mountains to the south - already had a covering of snow - that was 'Abkhazia' / Georgia .. the Olympic Park is on the north side of a River - the south side is the other nation - Sochi airport is in the valley... only 2 km distant from the circuit.
Did you notice that President Putin was awarding more than one prize - not seen before - and that before the race - he kept appearing in shots ?
He was even there with his translators and security men to meet the winning drivers in the pre prize presentation room - also a first... normally, the drivers just to chat about the race
They were given Pirelli Ushankas .. and had a good laugh....

Well done fellow countryman - Richard Cregan - for organising a brilliant event.
The Russian lasses looked great in traditional dress and the national anthem - was sung with passion.
Sochi is now firmly on the GP scene and may host the first day / night race in 2017.
