Timing tower still a shambles with the "no time" error still present.

 

 

I'm looking forward to another exciting race tomorrow. It surely will be; there's something about this track. I'd love to see another Red Bull victory or even something more strange. Lance Stroll wasn't too far off last year for instance!! Surely at least one safety car to come. Maybe Max can take out the top lot for us. Who knows :lol:

 

I am getting a bit concerned that Ferrari are literally going to storm it though without things like safety cars coming into play. Vettel on pole thrice in a row now...

Bloody hell WHAT a race! Absolutely loving this track, drama all the way through. Who'd have called that top 3?

 

LOL at the Red Bulls, another Max howler moving twice in the breaking zone. Grosjean also rolling back the years with his gaffe :rofl:

 

A bit gutted for Bottas there as he had a great strategy but great to see Lewis with his first win of the year :cheer:

 

What an outstanding drive from Leclerc too. I'm sure at the start of the season I was touting Sirotkin for rookie of the year but he's been anonymous in contrast.

Major ew at the cuntrag winning. Was praying for a year without that team getting on the top step coz lord knows we need the f***ing variation.

 

Sainz getting 5th was so pleasing. Heartbroken for Hulk, perfect chance for him today to snag that maiden podium

Perez has been summoned to the stewards about alleged illegal DRS use apparently. Don't take the podium from him.

 

 

Another great race! Summed up well already by Dobbo. I'll post up the B-League results once it's all confirmed whether Perez and Stroll got penalties.

What a race that was, a crazy start and a crazy final 11 laps. Baku has to stay as a track.

No further action on any DRS illegal use meaning Sergio Perez's third place stands.

 

 

Great to see Perez pick up another podium of course, the only driver to have 2 podiums so far at Baku!

No further action on any DRS illegal use meaning Sergio Perez's third place stands.

Boooooo

Great to see Kubica back in the wheel for first practice for Williams, faster than Stroll.

Bar the first lap pile-up (surely Grosjean's days are becoming increasingly numbered) this race was a relative snoozefest compared the 3 before.

 

Had to laugh at Ferrari's flop during the VSC.

And some strange driving from Sirotkin. Not a great race with the invisible rain.

Only a 3 place grid penalty for Grosjean :/

 

Should be a one race ban. 0 cars would have retired had he not planted his foot on the floor. His 'excuse' to the stewards was pathetic.

Shame to see how Williams have fallen again.

 

 

Story of Verstappen's season:

 

 

First, he over-drove in the first race of the season in Australia, ran wide and damaged his car and then spun, and finished sixth

In Bahrain, he crashed in qualifying and then retired from the race after colliding with Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes

In China, he lost a likely win by running wide trying to pass Hamilton and then colliding with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel

In Azerbaijan, he crashed in practice and then retired after being hit by team-mate Daniel Ricciardo. Both drivers were considered to blame for the incident but Verstappen's decision to make an illegal second move in defence was a contributing factor

In Spain, he damaged his front wing lapping Lance Stroll's Williams after a safety car period but managed to continue to finish third

 

And then he crashes near the exact same spot he crashed two years ago.

 

 

TV direction was absolutely shocking today from what I heard. In a dull Monaco race.

Mark: "Monaco did not disappoint this year!" 👍

 

Susie: "It was a great one, it delivered.”

 

What race were Channel 4 watching?

 

Good job from Ricciardo with a underpowered car.

 

 

Monaco delivered only as a warm up race for the Indy 500.

 

Although fair play to Leclerc's brakes for trying to liven things up

I really felt for Leclerc, bless him. Although he did good taking Hartley with him. Torro Roso can get in the sea.

 

 

 

Thrilled to bits for Dani Ric. He really deserved that, he's dominated the whole weekend and it was the perfect redemption for 2016.
