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

[Yaayuh!]

Brilliantly odd qualifying, nice grid! Should be a good race.

Riccardo is not doing well. Might be old stock at this rate

I can't help feeling like he should've just stayed at RB and waited for a gap to open up in another big team rather than wasting two years at Renault. I know he got paid well for the Renault gig but that's all he seems to have got from it... (Which obviously would be hard for anyone to turn down but it doesn't seemed to have done anything for his racing career.) I don't know, i could just be being harsh.

RB didn't do anything the last two years he was gone though. He would have picked up the odd win or 2 as had happened in the previous seasons. Of course this season might have been different and he could well have been leading the championship. Next season could be very different still.

Also remember that this year should have been a major formula change which usually mixes the order.

If max isn't leading after the first corner, he can just wait for a massive tow at the end of the lap. Nice 2.2km straight for his bendy wing /s.

I assume only way to watch this is Sky Sports F1 (live?)
When is it on for repeat usually and which channel?

You've not been watching much this weekend, have you? Red Bull's wings have been moving relatively little while it's Mercedes' wings (both front and rear) which have been the bendy ones.

Assuming they're getting away in grid order (unlikely) then it will be Hamilton making the first move against the Ferrari whose race-pace on Friday was woeful. Mercedes was about on par with Red Bull, which on race day usually translates into a comfortable pace advantage.

After all the crashes during qualifying I can only imagine the first lap is going to be carnage.

 

[Junglist]

first SC no latter than 7 laps I think.

 

[Journey]

first SC no latter than 7th laps corner I think.

I corrected that for you.

Ticktum is such a panto villain, absolute **** but is usually entertainment!

I thought his penalty was harsh, but his strops are always entertaining.

I was trying to be optimistic!

Haha, yes well it would be much better just prior to a pit window opening, but you've got to think about drivers like Has-a-spin etc.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The number of crashes make you wonder how dependent they’ve become on flexible track limits. Personally I’d like to see more walls.

 

[Mr Jack]

Has Charles made it to the grid today?
