Russia may be three years away from staging its maiden Grand Prix, but three F1 teams put the streets of Moscow on fire during the annual Bavaria City Racing Moscow event.
McLaren's Jenson Button, Ferrari's Giancarlo Fisichella and Team Lotus drivers Karun Chandhok and Luiz Razia were all in action around a 4.5km street circuit created around the Kremlin and the famous Red Square.
In front of a crowd of more than 100,000, Button completed a series of runs at the wheel of an MP4-23 in what was his second appearance on the Moscow streets.
Fisichella, a reserve driver of the Scuderia Ferrari was driving a Ferrari, said he too had enjoyed the experience despite wet weather conditions making the Moscow roads more challenging than expected.
Finally, Karun Chandhok and Luiz Razia completed two stints around the circuit in the Renault-powered Lotus T128, with Chandhok insisting that the large turn-out had shown the levels of support for Formula 1 in Russia.
