Grab your vodka and your babushkas, it’s time to prep for the Russian Grand Prix! We’re headed to Sochi — a subtropical resort town and a beautiful vacation destination...for most. Athletes, however, seem to regard the place as more of a bleak nightmare built on a pile of framed Putin portraits. Who’s excited?!
