Former world champion Jenson Button took a detour around the walls of the Kremlin on Sunday before setting his sights on resurrecting his title hopes at Germany's Nurburgring next weekend.
The British driver, who was representing his McLaren team at the fourth annual Moscow City Racing show, is 95 points behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel in the title chase as the Formula One season reaches the halfway stage.

Shrugging off his retirement at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone last weekend, he insisted the season is not yet over.
"Perhaps we've lost a bit of the momentum we'd built up in previous races, but not much," he said.
"Although Silverstone was disappointing, our pace has been good this year. Sometimes we've been quickest, sometimes we haven't.
"Nurburgring is a race I'd really like to win. In my championship year I finished fifth and my best position before then was third, back in 2004.
"To be able to say you've won at the Nurburgring is a major achievement because it's such a historic and challenging location."
