    Default Formula 1 2019 Azerbaijan grand prix

    Baku, love this track, but with Ferrari's power advantage, they're a shoe in for a 1-2, which means only one question remains...

    How will Ferrari fuck it all up and hand Mercedes another 1-2?

    Last year's race was epic. Grosjean being Grosjean under the safety car, RBR trying their hardest to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Multi-21 by re-enacting it (ok technically it was 5 years and 5 weeks to be exact) which made great fodder for Netflix's F1 Docudrama series. You know what? Turn on Netflix, open up Drive to Survive and watch Episode 2. That's your race preview.

    @tonytiger55 , I await your F1 writeup for this race.

    There has been a lot of talk about Ferrari's power advantage. I don't see it relative to Merc.

    They have a slippery aero package that is very good on the long straights and poor in the low speed corners where both Merc and RB seem to do well.

    Very excited for the race. With a few extra pony's and a bit more access to party mode Max might play spoiler.

    Im kinda lacking inspiration for my pre race writeup… Im struggling. Has anyone read the wikipedia page? Its dull as hell. How the hell does Azerbaijan even have a f1 GP..?
    If there was a book on the life struggles of my local city Councillor Shane Keating, im willing to bet that would be more inspiring.

    It’s a good point regarding the Ferrari. How will the red privileged Ferrari team mess this up?

    After the previous race, rumours are starting to surface in the paddock that Le Clerc is ACTUALLY a peeking duck. No matter how good he drives I think he will be asked to drop back and be the ‘Prisoner of Azerbaijan.’ Hell… with Ferrari doing that kinda nonsense…he might as well change his name to Harry Potter at this rate.

    Williams have vowed they will be aiming to get their car near the top of the grid. I predict only one car will finish last.
    Lewis seems unsure of whether really wants to win or not. Bottas will be waiting in the wings.
    I predict a Bottas win actually.

    Fun fact the worlds biggest KFC is in Azerbaijan. I shit you not. Well Lewis won’t be eating there… he’s Vegan.
    According to statistics in 2016, Chinas population is 126 times the population of Azerbaijan. The country even has a carpet museum.
    Yeah im struggling here.

    Track left a drain cover loose and Russell ran over it at speed. Whoops. Bet he felt that one. Shit luck for Williams.

    The crane fail was pretty brutal too ..... SO lucky it didnt just collapse on the car - it would have been a total loss likely.

    The one that springs to mind was Malaysia 2017.
    Grosjean crashed due to a drain cover. Lawsuit got settled a year later and the track had to pay for the damages.
    Funnily enough, the mancovers at both incidents were dislodged by Ferrari cars.

    That’s one way to fuck it up. Stepping up on creativity by fucking it up on Saturday.

    On the bright side fastest Renault powered car out there. Unfortunately every other engine has a car ahead.

    I really wish they would do a more lengthy F1 highlights like they do on the BBC. Its hard to tell what went on in the race.

    WTF was Riccardo doing reversing into the other guy..? LMAO.

    Is it good for the sport to have two cars from the same team dominate so strongly? I suppose things could change but it sure does appear that is not going to happen.
    Will fuck off, again.
