He did well subbing in for Sainz earlier this year, so hopefully should have a good showing.

 

[Mr Jack]

Love Baku, always one of my favourite tracks. There have been a few snooze-fests here, but it usually delivers. I reckon we'll see either Colapinto or Bearman hit the wall in dramatic fashion.

 

[Feek]

Oh, Charles.

 

[.:MBK:.]

always looked innevitable with how on the edge that car looked

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

another red flag, this time Colapinto lost the rear into T4

To be expected really. This track is a hellscape.

 

[GravyMonster]

Dammit, missed P1. I forgot it was on so early this weekend.

[Psycho Ned]

Lol that was proper random in the F2 qualifying both Campos cars just locked up and went into the barriers at turn 1 one after the other!

 

[Lumeycom]

That ferrari looked a bit ragged to be fair

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

ooh that was rather close with gasly and norris... gasly should have backed off much earlier

 

[Mr Jack]

lol have you seen FP1?

Hah! Only sometimes watch the Free Practice sessions, usually only at the start of the season or if there is an interesting driving running. Bearman faster than Hülkenberg? Nice work for the youngster.

Saw that. Well weird. Did they establish if it was over heating the front brakes?

What compound tyres are they using?

At the start of P2 the presenter said C3-5 but the graphics showed C1-3

soft medium and hards... using different names for the different compounds is too hard for people to understand it seems so they just make it up on the day, this way is totally not confusing at all is it

Graphics were wrong, as per usual:

Formula 1 moves on to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend, with tyre supplier Pirelli bringing their three softest dry compounds to the venue – namely the C3 as the hard, the C4 as the medium and the C5 as the soft.

What tyres will the teams and drivers have in Azerbaijan?

No David Croft this weekend, another Harry Benjamin weekend in the comms box.

Maybe we should give him the rest of his life off to celebrate..

I said it before and I’ll say it again and it also won’t happen but, double Brundle.

Martin and Alex could be brilliant
