Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021, Baku - Race 6/23

[Mr Jack]

Red Bull suggested to Race Control to red flag so everyone can change tyres. Interesting.

 

[Flibster]

Damn. Something has punctured a hole into the leading edge of the regulation section of Hamilton's front wing...

 

[Kenai]

Interesting radio, zero warning of failure and suggestion to red flag

Pirelli choose the compounds, if they choose one and say it will be good for 40 laps then it should be good for 40 laps.

Pirelli are guessing. They haven't tested the tyres in Baku with these new high downforce cars.

edit:

In fact these tyres are stronger than last year.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Everyone expecting a restart. Don’t see why not.

Not a great approach if they are indeed guessing.

Perez and Hamilton into the wall at lap 1; Vettel through for the win....

 

[Merlin5]

I'm pleased for Vettel.

What do you expect? They can only test tyres on test tracks.

F1 teams are also guessing on how long the tyres will last (performance wise) even with all their data and practice sessions.

There will be no DRS so Hamilton has no chance after the first corner.

I think near the beginning he hit a piece of debris (someone said branch?) it was when Max ducked over the chicane to avoid it.

PMSL at Latifi radio

STAY OUT STAY OUT STAY OUT

...through the pit lane

That must have lost him some time.

 

[Flibster]

Oh Latifi is in trouble...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Oh Latifi is in trouble...

That was very dangerous to stay out if Marshall’s were assuming cars were going into the pit lane.

 

[XeNoN89]

Oh Latifi is in trouble...

Team radio stuffed him there

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Love the FIA radio.

Stroll's tyre has completely come away at the wall. Pirelli doing their best to hide it with a red bag.

 

[Mr Jack]

Oh Latifi is in trouble...

Can't blame him really. That was all on his engineer.

 

[jonneymendoza]

This is why ham said max isn't his hardest challenger. Max always messes up one way or another

 

[Flibster]

Latifi pit radio - Stay out stay out stay out stay out stay out stay out.... through the pitlane but no pitstop. Through the pitlane but no pitstop.

Latifi - Aaaah... You told me to stay out. Stay out means stay on the track..

Pit - Sorry. Sorry.
