Vettel just went with the average European family man car. White Skoda octavia, base trim (not even fog lights). The most efficient way to go unnoticed.

Base spec wheel covers as well. All rental cars.
I think the Alfa Romeo drivers and the Ferrari drivers drove Chryslers and Jeeps since the Alfa and Ferrari are owned by Stellantis, who also own Chrysler and Jeep aswell.

Looks like a lot of teams must have used rental cars rather than cars from manufacturers. With Sochi as a resort area, there probably are many rentals available.
For Merc. It’s a GLE. GLE is the model. 300 is the trim level. D means diesel. Model: GLA/GLB/GLC/GLE/GLS/G/A/B/C/E/S Trim level: 180/200/250/300/350/400/450/500/600 Powertrain: D-diesel, H-hybrid, E-phev Hope it helps.

Kym A7 I do not think so? More likely a Q? Something. Just one you missed. Love your reports and style. Cheers.
I don't know if you know this but Antonio Giovinazzi's silver Jeep Grand Cherokee is actually a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that has a 6.2 liter Supercharged V8 with 707 horsepower from the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Charger Hellcat.
i reckon the best car would have to be the Antonios Grand Cherokee track hawk, with its 6.2L supercharged Hemi making 707hp, I think its a bit better than Carlos rubicon
The standout for me was Antonio's car. That's not a normal Grand Cherokee. That's the Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawk. 707 horsepower in a crossover. Pretty much the only sports car in the paddock this time.

How do they get so many cars for every track they visit? Are they all rented? or are they sourced from the local dealers? how about the rest of the team(pit crew, mechanics)? what do they arrive in? and do they stay in the same hotels as the drivers?
