It's seems sky have decided to hype up the races as a result they seem a bit dull, not living up to expectations.
I really would like to know what his view was like from his itty bitty teeny tiny mirrors! I bet he could see next to nothing.

I'm a little surprised people seem to expect Baku to be a great race. 2016 was dismal, one of the most boring races in the last 10 years. 2017 was only interesting because of constant safety cars. 2018 was also incredibly dull, but brought to life in the last 10 laps with a safety car. Likewise this year was boring. It's a **** circuit which relies on the SC to make it interesting, the same as Monaco.
Voted a 3 from me as nothing of note happened.

To paraphrase his old boss at Red Bull, that's the fault of the other teams not doing a good enough job.
Whilst I agree with you, Leclerc threw away a potential win in his brain fart moment this weekend. He looked great right up till that point. He even showed some great pace in the race. I think we would have seen a very different race had he been in the top 4 at the end of Q3.
Still, he is young, and will make these errors. I really want to see him do well, he is the best thing going for Ferrari at the moment. Vettel is just not able to pull the same sort of consistency and challenge as he used to. Its a shame, as with 2 drivers firing on all cylinders, Hamilton dropping points to Bottas, and their apparent speed, they could just nick a win this year if they backed the right (prancing) horse!

With loosing a lot of their football revenue they have to milk the F1 cash cow as much as possible.
new steering wheel for Ricciardo
Surprised they don't have a reversing cam already tbh. It wouldn't even be that hard to install
Sums my thoughts up.

They should have those sensors around the car warning of other vehicles nearby as quite a few drivers have terrible spacial awareness.
Most of them being Grojean.

To be (briefly) fair, how many of those years could you say that RBR dominated to the degree that Mercedes have in this turbo era?
2010 - narrow win
2011 - pretty much domination
2012 - narrow win
2013 - dominated second half of season

The best part was that it was Daniil “The Torpedo” Kvyat that Ricciardo reversed into.
