Valtteri Bottas and Mick Schumacher issued confident battle cries ahead of the Race of Champions.
The annual event returns this weekend for the 32nd time. And, for the second year in the row, the action will take place on a treacherous course made of snow and ice, created on the frozen Baltic Sea in northern Sweden – just 60 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle.
Several familiar Formula 1 faces are among the brave souls who have travelled to Scandinavia to take part. Among them is Sebastian Vettel, who will race competitively for the first time since retiring from F1 last November.
