Formula 1 has cancelled this season's Russian GP.

The Sochi race was due to be held on September 25 but, following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the sport has released a statement saying it is "impossible to hold the Russian GP in the current circumstances" .

This comes after UEFA confirmed that they will move the Champions League final on May 28 to Paris from St Petersburg, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The UEFA executive committee held an emergency meeting on Friday and decided to move the showpiece to the Stade de France from the 68,000-capacity Gazprom Arena in Vladimir Putin's home city.

Chief Reporter Kaveh Solhekol joined the set to talk about how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has and will continue to impact sport.
