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

[CaptainRAVE]

Leclerc is done once drs opens. He’s not exactly pulling without it.

 

[Mr Jack]

Gio is a real first lap hero.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton doesn’t seem to have great initial grip.

Merc is easier on tyres, so takes longer to heat up.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Think that was why Merc were doing 2 warm up laps in quali yesterday, took longer to light the tyres up.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Boom.

 

[Flibster]

That Merc is seriously quick in a straight line.

 

[Flibster]

1:49.031 for Gasly

 

[Kenai]

Mercedes absolutely rinsed that Ferrari down the straight

 

[CaptainRAVE]

That Merc is seriously quick in a straight line.

Very. That was a huge difference. Not for the first time either.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Thought Hamilton would pull more in clean air.

 

[Flibster]

1:48.040 for Verstappen

 

[CaptainRAVE]

It’ll be tight in pit stops.

 

[Flibster]

And that's it for Ocon. Smoking and reports a loss of power.

 

[Dup]

Yawn, here we go again. Lewis out front for another boring race.

 

[spook2575]

Up to the strategists now

 

[Flibster]

1:47.462 for Hamilton. Tyres must be going off...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Up to the strategists now

Them and a SC. DRS keeping everyone close.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Bottas doing his David Copperfield vanishing act today I see. Team mates 1st, he's 3 seconds off the back of Vettel!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton managing?

 

[MrKnifey]

Let leclerc get the tow from drs so he is safe from max... What a plan from Merc

 

[muon]

Hamilton managing?

Nah, Ferrari and Red Bull probably 2 tenths faster.
