Formula 1 is making a claim against the erstwhile Russian Grand Prix promoter. A counterclaim has been put in at London’s High Court against Rosgonki. Law360 reports the amount to be 104 million dollars and it relates to the cancellation of the 2022 and 2023 rounds.

It started with the Russians in court seeking to recoup advances for races F1 had cancelled; the championship is now calling for its money for events that did not happen.

The contract was ended when the event was taken off the calendar in February 2022. There is no hearing date to report.
