    Might not be a bad idea for LeClerc to put it in the wall on the next run.

    Crofty thinking that same.

    Well at Baku it’s ridiculous due to the length of the last straight. Cars getting tows in F1 isn’t new but this straight and DRS makes it ridiculous.

    ...but it's making for an exciting qualifying, where there are 4 teams in contention for pole.

    Seriously how can you complain about that?

    Ferrari and Gasly are well in the mix because of this tow. It's edge-of-the-seat stuff.

    Hopefully Ferrari don’t take a chance like Monaco.

    Who saw that coming?! Mega lap from Leclerc.
    Tsunoda and Sainz added to the long list of driver mistakes.

    5 teams in the first 6 places.

    Best qualy in a long time. Genuinely anybody from LeClerc to Checo could have had pole.

    Jesus that was something! Sainz gearbox change maybe? Great result for Gasly, pity for Max

    Well that sure was interesting! Well done Leclerc, though it's clear the difference the tow makes. I feel for Bottas, who played the team game throughout and then didn't get any tow himself.

    When was the last time Hamilton and Bonno were delighted to be in 2nd?

    Verstappen's just used the same word now too!!

    This apologising on-air for someone saying "shít" is just ridiculous.

    Great quali session. Poor Bottas got shafted again.

    Verstappen not happy to say the least.

    Looking forward to the barrage of abuse being directed at Max for acting like a petulant child here when it doesn't go his way, again.

    Time for everyone here to show their consistencies.

    Great session. Delighted for Charles. Bottas got mugged by the team as usual.

    This also shows why vast run off areas and not imposing track limits properly ruins races.

    Throwing the toys out the pram. Imagine if it was Lewis acting like that.

    Tbh, these red flags ending qualifications should be changed and put a better system in place. I do think it's absolutely bs that a driver can get pole early and someone else makes a mistake preventing others from challenging it. Or the worse version of the driver themselves causing the red flag on purpose.
