Standard Baku race, terrible track for racing if there's no crashing and restarts.
Why did they introduce these new cars? I don't think the racing is any better than with the old cars. The commentators are always mentioning how they can follow much closer, but I don't see it. Huge waste of money. They'd better kept the 2021 cars and applied the windtunnel time limit and budget cap to those cars.

They were unquestionably better at racing in 2022, red bull getting a jump on everyone kinda masked that
The thing is F1 teams put so much effort into aero, and indeed making their aero wash as dirty as possible is a big thing they look into to try and ensure they're not overtaken, so even 1 year after a reg change, it gets worse. It'll get worse again every season tbh
And the 2017 regs were a big mistake, if they'd done nothing to them, it'd be even worse than now.
At least they look better....

I don´t understand why Red Bull thought, hey, there´s a car stuck on track on a dangerous position. Let´s pit Max now! Aaaaaw, SC, who could have seen that coming!
I guess they gambled on a VSC coming out. If it was a VSC instead of a SC they would've looked like heros, and if it came out and they'd gone by pit exit, they'd be handing a free pit stop to Leclerc, Alonso, Hamilton or whoever it was that was closest to pit entry just as it was called
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
It's not like they have any real title fight, so everyone, even Max, is probably OK with Checo scooping up a couple and they'll get into team orders later on in the year, if neccessary.
