Baku was basically everything I loved about 1980s US street circuits.

Sorry Mark, we have no idea what's wrong with your KERS mate...

Baku was basically 35 mins in 'I think I should go to bed soon this is boring'

20 mins later :vince:

Stayed up for the whole affair and ended up seeing the whole thing, good times.

That was one of the most entertaining F1 races I've seen. Granted, I've only been watching for 3 or 4 years but that was so good. Well done.

lmbo that Stroll got driver of the day and not Bottas who came from last to second and was legitimately impressive even for a Bottas-skeptic like me

I love that the standards are so low for Stroll that he won Driver of the Day just by not crashing. I don't think he actually passed anyone either. Everyone that was in front of him had something happen to them. Both Ricciardo and Bottas were basically last at one point and drove their way back up (yes I know Bottas' car is really good).

In all the madness it looked to us like if you were in a certain place when it all kicked off then you were in with a shot. Bottas was always capable of going through the field if he avoided any silly stuff but the other two places were well and truly up for grabs.

He got past Massa after the red flag restart. Then again, Massa had a problem and plummeted like a rock shortly after.

Hope you're having an amazing day

So whenever I'm watching a race late, I'll check the number of unread posts in the thread.... usually around 400-500+ means something good happened, enough to send you lot into a posting rage. Usually around 100-150 means the race was terrible.

So I thought I'd check late last night when I sat down to watch glorious baku. 1300+ unread posts. drat that was some crazy poo poo.

Both the Vettel and Hamilton camps are petulant children right now.

I feel that what Vettel did was loving stupid and dumb, but he was penalised so I'll just leave it there. But nooo, folks gonna drag this out until Austria and then Sky will continue to beat the dead horse.

Depends on car development throughout the season and strategy. Lewis seems to have remembered how to drive this season and I trust Merc to gently caress up strategy less than Ferrari, so unless Ferrari makes a significantly better car than the Merc I think Hamilton will get it.

You might be right, Seb needs to improve his starts but in recovery mode he has been great so far.

I haven't watched the race or any motorsport ever but here are my views.

Riccardo is a cheat, a oval office and a bogan that needs to go to hygiene classes. I hope he dies.

Hamilton is a cheat and a dirty driver trying to emulate senna by brake checking our Vettel and then accusing Vettel of ramming him. Very bad

Bottas is a cheat and a dirty driver for constantly trying to kill our Kimi because he realizes somehow he is more uninteresting than Kimi

The FIA are bad because they are biased against honest Italian teams like Scuderia Ferrari and favoring cheating british based teams like Mercedes.

On the positive side

Vettel is still the best even with the biased FIA handing him unfair penalties and he still managed to beat the big cheater Hamilton who can't even put his head restraint back on properly. Can't wait for Vettel to win the wdc this year #forzaferrari #thescudisgood #fingerboyftw

Phwoar Lance Stroll, I knew he could do it all the people here are haters what a great drive, who says you need money to be good in F1. Proper talent, can't wait to see him on the podium again.

"He went through the corner and went out of the throttle"

Which is equal to braking, especially in an F1 car. You can brake test someone with the engine brake too and thats what he did. The problem was where he did it. He knew Vet had nowhere to go in the middle of the corner and knew that he tries to stay close to be in the slipstream at the restart. With all his acting, I am convinced Levis know exactly what he did, when and why and once again just want to be seen as the jewish victim. I want to make clear again that I neither like Vet or Ham. I just see this neutral with my racing experience. It was on purpose and he should have been penalized. But here is the good thing. Sooner or later he will be behind Vettel at the restart and that tight corner will come. Hopefully Ham is close behind him too.
