European Grand Prix 2016, Baku - Race 8/21

Its a new track in a new country that has no interest in F1, so it won't be around for long anyway.

Cavallino · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:30

This is more boring that Monaco...

Indeed, just an oil-rich country trying to put itself on the global map. That job will be done after a couple of races so they won't care anyway.

Is it me or are there hardly any grandstands around the track?

Probably more about there being very few places to build them.

Only the second race I watched live this year as I wasn't busy.
Wish I hadn't. Have turned it off.
Only thing that could have saved this was a big crash

Really shows That if nothing happens (first lap , weather, slow car in front after turn 1)that some tracks are just complete bores.

As Skeeter said,
This race shows everything that is wrong in f1

WELL DONE BAKU!

For giving us the ****test race ever.

Seriously, what's with all the WELL DONE BAKU hoardings?
Well done for what? Giving the most money to Bernie?

Every other circuit in Europe is better than this POS for European GP..

BAKU >>>>>>>> monaco

Well done, you opened your eyes. God it might be worth paying for sky just to get rid of kravitz

Eh? Kravitz is on Sky :confused:

muon · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:32

I agree, Monaco is definitely worse.

You might get cars driving closer together as they get stuck, but that doesn't make it better.

How long before Crofty says that was an awesome race?

utajoker · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:35

well done perez, 2 podiums in a row.

Skeeter · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:35

Good performance from Force India and Perez though.

utajoker · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:37

how long we got this track on the calendar for?

Vertigo · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:38

Is there some rule that says the European GP has to be held somewhere awful?

Emlyn_Dewar · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:39

Happy for Perez and Force India at least.

XeNoN89 · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:39

Fell asleep a few times. Was expecting a few crashes and some excitement but nope it was just basically moaning about radio ban and some DRS overtakea

El_Watcher · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:39

It says something when a 24 hour endurance race is closer and more exciting at the front than a 2 hour sprint race :rolleyes:

ThestigGT999 · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:40

Brilliant Race, lots of overtaking and great action

Rosberg Dominated the race

lol at people who think this race is worse than monaco
