Monster lap from Hamilton. Let's hope someone can jump the Mercs at the start and we can have a race.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Based on last year, no one will take any risks because of the walls, and will just wait for the massively long and wide straight where the fastest cars will simply blast past anything slower with DRS. Baku looks good in qualifying, but in the race there's little overtaking opportunities except for the straight, so everyone does it there rather than risk a crash.
 
Hamilton looking a class above the rest again this weekend like in Canada. Nearly half a second gap to Bottas!
 
I just watched the GP2 race - not as mental as last year but still very eventful. Wonder if the F1 race will again be the polar opposite?
 
I may not be the biggest fan of Hamilton, but he is one of the best drivers around. He just seems to thrive when under pressure to perform.
 
Apparently Ferrari were told to remove a auxiliary oil tank prior to this weekend, after the FIA again warned on the use of oil for internal combustion.

It's too early to say how much, if any, performance this has cost Ferrari. And the way I read into it was that the oil wasn't being used as fuel directly but as an additive to reduce knock/detonation so they could run more boost when needed.
 
Coulthard stuck his microphone in front of Verstappen who was being interviewed by a German reporter. Coulthard says "sounds like German, might be okay for you cunning linguists out there". But I'm not sure he actually said cunning :D
