IS this a night race?

Love Baku. Such a great track. It's one of the few new ones that they got right.

Nope. Baku is only three hours ahead of Ireland.

Noon is an awful race start time.

David Croft got married last weekend and is off on Honeymoon. So Harry Benjamin will be moving over from BBC Radio to Sky Sports for one final time this year.

There has to be a joke in there somewhere with Crofty's "it's lights out and away we go!" phrase. 😂

MadYaker

I thought he was already married

We'll have that stupid "eyes to the light and foot to the floor" intro now instead. 🙄

Agreed that 12 is a crappy time, but at least it means I can watch it on catch up at a more normal time. (Best time for races is 8pm btw - all races should be then)

Second marriage I believe? I think his new wife works for Aston Martin?

I'm working on one combining that with the flag that was waved one lap early, cant quite get it!

Hijpo

Red flag, williams in the wall, colapinto

LecLerc and Ocon crashed earlier as well, not with each other.

JAcques villaneuve was quite scathing of McLaren and papaya rules BS.

Frank Bullitt

Perfect timing. I was on a zoom call and was worried that I wasn’t going to be able to watch this live but the stars aligned. How are things lads ?

LAndo out in Q1

Itssoeasy

What has happened to Lando ?

Just checked over from the football,

Shocked to see Norris eliminated.

PsychoPete

Colapinto pushing impressively hard! Norris out in Q1 is a blessing for Verstappen

Itssoeasy

That takes the pressure off Oscar and max for different reasons.

Ghost Train

Pity to see Lando out

flazio

He must have caught the yellow but the TV picture didn't show us the cause.

Itssoeasy

Ted kravitz sounding like some driver had a huge shunt and the medical car was out.

Yeah, properly depressed Ted sounded. 😁

PsychoPete

Colapinto doing a fantastic job so far

Itssoeasy

In only two qualy sessions colapinto is looking miles better than sergeant.

Colapinto smashing it (not literally)
