Could probably be said of almost any oil-producing Asian country, sadly.
Ah OK so that's where Baku is. I watched the FIA GT race but never realized which country it was in.
That street circuit would never pass F1 safety regulations though. Parts of it were a single lane wide, and the whole thing was basically roads marked out with concrete barriers. The GT race was quite entertaining due to a couple of tight hairpins and some mental chicanes. The pits was tents in a carpark too
. For F1 to go there I imagine large areas of track would be purpose built, like Singapore.

Classy. I like.

Very nice, but can't help feeling there's too much white.
Soldato
Think that looks nice

Nice looking paint job! Liking that it isn't too busy.

Agree, it was obviously going to mainly white but I was expecting more blue on the car. Shame really as their testing blue is a nice colour IMO. On the plus side, it should stand out against other cars during the race.

They'll be sold here, can't see them on there yet though.
