F1 2024 - Round 17 - Azerbaijan - Baku

It's a tricky one to judge, Sainz does come back in a bit further than I thought initially but I think the two of them just misjudge the distance between them.

Stewards will call it a racing incident, no penalties.

If I was top dog in Ferrari I'd be furious with Sainz. Telemetry will tell all but overhead it looked like he was attacking Leclerc.

I don't think either of them turned. I think when they exited the corner they both put their cars on converging lines because they were both trying to get behind Leclerc in front for the slipstream. Looked like the sun was in their eyes too, I dunno who is to blame but Perez must have known Sainz was there because Perez was behind him, had space to take avoiding action but didn't.

Double points for Williams though, Franco Colapinto continues to impress. It will be interesting to see where he ends up next year.

I mentioned this after quali, but i feel it needs repeating now, the quality of sky's coverage has been dreadful all weekend. I didn't see any of the pre race or post race coverage, I just saw the quali and race coverage and the combination of Harry Benjamin and Karun Chandhok was just bad. Ted wasn't up to it either, regularly trying to speak over driver commentary.

Only bright spot was Bernie Collins as always. But hopefully if Crofty is missing for more races next year they have a better alternate pairing (maybe ensure that Brundle is there?).

No further action regarding the crash.

Verstappen receives a warning for passing cars under a VSC after the chequered flag.

Why?

He is still 32 points behind Lando.

Oscar drove a phenomenal race to win today, but Lando done an equally good job today. His grid position was wasn't exactly down to any error in his part - just bad luck catching a yellow flag.

Agreed. I only seen the Sky Quali coverage but it was dismal. Channel 4 do it so much better. Sky would put you off F1 Channel 4 make it the greatest Sport in the World and sound Like they actually care and enjoy the sport unlike Sky where it's just about how much money they can make.

They won’t because Sky pay them a load of money for exclusive broadcasting rights in uk and Ireland. I wish we weren’t lumped in with the UK and could get F1TV here.
