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!

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 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.

Someone very nearly lost their foot there.

WEC felt like it lasted 3 hours instead of 6, F1 felt like it lasted 3 hours instead of 1.5. Great series.

I wonder if it will be the #endof the Azerbijan Grand prix tbh, the FIA have got mad at tracks for much, much less, like Dignitaries being invited to the podium ceremony, etc

When Albon pitted in the last lap of Australia last year, there was also random people milling around in the pit lane.

Red Bull are at another level. How much of that is just the engine and straight line speed?

I usually look forward to Baku. Very disappointing race. Lots of contact with the wall, which suggests that drivers were pushing at times. Nothing much seemed to happen, though. Time for Indycar to save the day.

I turned off after the finish but apparently they also fucked up the flags for Max and Charles.

It was actually Leclerc going and standing on the wrong step and Max seems to have thought screw it and took the other step.

Leclerc stepped on the first one that said Ferrari

During the SC Leclerc reported something that was understood as "a cut". Actually, he meant "a cat", to add more mess to this race.

That happened on Saturday

better than this race are the stats after this race

.6th win for Sergio Pérez;
-overtakes Charles Leclerc to be 5th best among drivers in activity
-equals Tony Brooks, John Surtees, Jochen Rindt, Gilles Villeneuve, Jacques Laffite, Riccardo Patrese and Ralf Schumacher

.25th One-two finish for Red Bull, 5th best;

.19th pole position start for Charles Leclerc;
-overtakes Mario Andretti, René Arnoux and Kimi Raikkonen to rank 17th all time.
-8th pole position start without converting into a win (record belongs to Nelson Piquet with 10 between BRI/84 and ITA/87)

.8th victory by a Mexican driver
-overtakes Switzerland and Colombia to rank 18th all time
