2018 Russian Grand Prix: Press Conference Highlights

Home hero Sergey Sirotkin faced the media ahead of his first home Grand Prix, as well as last year's race winner Valtteri Bottas, and Sauber pairing Marcus Ericsson and Charles Leclerc. Here's what went down in the session...

I saw the press conference on TV . Marcus looked totally crushed which is so unusual for him and it was kind of sad to watch tbh . Must feel even worse than it might have done cos he knows his 2018 team mate is joining Ferrari next year and can't stop grinning. .Hopefully he'll help Kimi and Antonio to develop the car next year . He'll still probably do most of Saubers' PR events next year as Kimi will want to avoid those like the plague. If Antonio doesn't deliver good results as I expect him to maybe Marcus will get another chance but as of this time the right decision has been made I feel. I admit I have a soft spot for Marcus as he's such a nice guy.

let fans ask the questions or something, because these guys are always asking the same shit lol

I mean Racing in GP2 and Racing in a Williams isnt that much of a Differenz is it ?

Grosjan can't blame Erricson anymore

Keeping Marcus in case Kimi walks after running out of ice cream at Sauber

[mrgazzaw]

You gotta feel for Marcus as this year he's not been too bad

[TheAddictedBoy]

Marcus is the most kind driver of the grid

[MMR_LM]

This is as far as I can find the most they've showed of Sirotkin

Loved that exchange from the transcript:
CL: Well, in Singapore first of all, I would like to thank Sergey because if my strategy worked that well it’s thanks to him also.
SS: It was a pleasure.

We need to have Kimi and Sergey in a press conference together before the end of the season. It would be hilarious.

[CL-fgne]

I'm gonna miss Marcus man. Idk why but I just will.

[LegendarySnipez]

I wonder if F1 will reply to you if you're early enough

[wcrfish]

You just look at Valtteri and you think "Oh what a nice guy!". And then you hear him talk and see him behave and you think " I was right!"

[SelinaaaBro]

I hope Bottas and Kimi are given a fair chance to actually RACE in the gp's we have coming up and not help their teammates with their title fights.

Ericcson smile is as mysterious as smile of Mona Lisa)

[sangxu]

Drivers come and go and there’s always not so qualified drivers in the grid. I’m sure people like Ericsson and Ocon can do well outside F1 and still get a chance to come back.

[sagarr]

I just want to take this moment to thank formula1 youtube/media team for listening and making appropriate changes and introductions which would surely help the sport to grow to much wider audience. Cheers mate keep up the great work!

Marcus Ericsson the most coolest guy in F1😎 and Sergey the most technical guy because he is Engineer so ..😁

[totallyuseless]

Hope we can see Sergey and Kvyat on 2019 at the Russian GP. =)

Sergey seems like a humble guy and DK is like a fun Russian.
