    There'll probably be a safety car on the first lap

    Think this may be the race when Red Bull can finally have Perez up there alongside Max and as a result can try some new strategies especially with Bottas so far back and unable to help Mercedes.

    Fancy Lewis or Max to win with Perez working well as a helping hand in third.

    Judging by Hamilton’s sheer delight at being second yesterday I’d be surprised if the Merc is in the running. He’ll need a tow all race.

    That RB looks like the fastest car out there. So you’d have to think it’s Max’s to lose.

    Having said that. Verstappen and Hamilton did an extra two laps on their race start tyre yesterday. The softs are a pile of ****e here.

    With that in mind, I fancy Vettel to score some good points as he’ll get to start on the mediums. Is it a two-stop race if you’re starting on the softs?

    Hamilton has a great chance to lead from the first corner.
    In the F2 race grid positions 2,4,6 all gained on those ahead.

    I'd like to see both Verstappen and Lewis take eachother out on Turn 1. It might lead to a more exiting race overall.

    Either way, my money is on Mazepin to take out two drivers in the first lap.

    Baku is one of the tracks I look forward to the most each year. It has a bit of everything. We get to see a lot of overtaking but with consequences. Like a monaco/monza combo. I don't get the hate this track gets, we have always had great racing here.

    Ted and co really trying to hype this up.

    Bookies have Lewis and Max pretty much neck and neck, Perez 16/1 and the rest 50/1+ :pac:

    both this race an monaco have no place on the F1 calander. all were gona see today is flags. ad the odd overtake on the back straight. its all gona be done in the pits. pointless.

    I know what you mean, However i like the likes of this track.

    Looking at some of the onboard is unreal - there is very little margin for error, no big run-offs to get away with mistakes.

    Great start for the front three - will get interesting when the DRS is switched on.

    Russell taking the hard tyre gamble.

    Max gets passed LeClerc.

    Wonder was that a team orders delay.

    Obviously not, but he is under severe pressure from Lewis. Lewis on the radio saying Perez is so much faster so he might not be able to use DRS soon.

    According to Ted kravitz there was an issue with one of the wheel guns.

    How did Di Resta manage to turn a point about RB finally having a consistent second driver into another fawning over Hamilton. I miss Brundle

    Perez showing the value of having a top teammate for Verstappen. He's holding up Hamilton here letting Max get out ahead.

    I fancy Vettel to keep those tires and to make up a few places at the end. I wonder will it be a 2 stop for some other cars?
