    Leaking fluid aswell. Thats gunna spice up the track. Darkness and temperature will be changing now.



    Oh Baku you just cause unmittigated chaos.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,689 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    With dropping track temperatures, might have ****ed Vettel as well.

    Well vettel ran over the part of Charles car on the track but bar his tyres id say he will grand.

    If Leclerc threw a fiver up in the air it would come down with a summons the lack of luck he seems to have.

    If Williams threw up a fiver they'd catch it pnly to find out they have had their wallet and phone pick pocketed.

    Have they changed the kerbing on that corner from previous years

    Looks like they took some of the kerbing on entry away to allow them attack that corner more.

    Thought the corner used to be a bit slower alright.

    Do the F1 need to change the time of qualifying in Baku ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,559 ✭✭✭Inviere


    Verstappen now a candidate for tomorrow...

    They did alter it recently to open it up I think it was. But Anthony Davidson was showing a lap and the shadows around the track are nuts. It's like the Monaco tunnel around a full track.

    Yeah but he's currently P12, with oil on the track and dropping track temps. Might be tough to get a quick lap in.

    Looks like they need to put the kerbing back to make that corner a little slower. Drivers looking like they need to be saved from themselves.

    Not just max but any car that keeps it out of the walls is in with a shout of doing well.

    Ferrari are cursed at that track. If they didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck :(

    I say leave it. F1 badly needs less predictability, not more. With Le Clerc out of position tomorrow, combined with the inevitable safety car or two, it should be a spicy race.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,559 ✭✭✭Inviere


    Undoubtedly what I’ll coin, a Netflix moment anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,689 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Yeah crofty stick to commentary which you're no Murray walker at let's be honest.

    The sun setting over the castle looks blinding from the TV pictures.

    That corner though might need to be changed back as it's clearly a corner set up in a way that it shouldn't. Two red flags in less than two sessiom of qualifying at one corner means drivers are taking chances at this corner that isn't there.

    Both were pushing too hard, simple as. 18 other drivers haven’t made that mistake. Give me this result over miles of blue run off every single time. The race always benefits from drivers out of position anyway.

    If Leclerc gets into q3, he is allowed to take part, did I get that right?

    I vaguely remember about a rule where the car has to return to the pits under its own power no?

    Depends if chassis needs changing but yeah if he's in t10 and doesnt need to breach parc ferme he should be fine.

    Mekies and the FIA guy were talking and they mentioned the FIA guy would be examining the tyres if he was to make it.


    Edit: apparently not. Mekies must just have been saying the chassis is fine.
