Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2024
This tends to throw up an exciting race. This track reminds me like a high-speed version of Phoenix! Few spectators, but better racing than the Arizona circuit. The little single file bit is unique.

A load of upgrades have been made. Walls have been moved, some resurfacing has been done. In all, 16 changes have been done. Be interesting to see how it makes the racing any different.

Still not a great circuit or venue. Much rather they got rid of this and brought back the French GP which didn’t warrant losing a place on the calendar

Hrm. I see Colapinto has been drinking the same stuff as Sargent before him. Williams really don't need another crasher!

McLaren are well and truly on a roll after Monza, with RBR only 8 points ahead in the constructor's championship, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

The momentum can easily swing the other way though, although RBR still appear to be in dire straits this weekend

Very impressive from Franco Colapinto, showing great character & ability to come back from a poor Friday morning.

Charles Leclerc continues from where he left off at Monza, by claiming his 4th consecutive pole at Baku.

Reasons as to why, for "best of the rest", it will be a straight up fight between Haas and Williams. Both showing marked improvement, which should make it the best battle of the race tomorrow.

With the exception of that pitlane exit,I thought Williams showed an impressive performance.I wonder if Colapinto is now on Sauber's radar?I have a feeling that yesterday's failure to get out of Q3 will be really bad news for Norris and his hopes of a championship this year,unless Max has a retirement or two coming his way. |

Hamilton is a pit lane starter. Mercedes have changed his engine. Moves Norris up to 14th.

No, Perez and Sainz collide.
Edit: The race will end under the VSC. |

Very, very much so. I said with 6 laps to go that it was one of the best drives of his career, and that if the three behind him didn't behave they might well all lose out to Russell and Norris.
So, so close! |

Albon and Colapinto in the points, with Bearman and Hulkenburg just missing out.
Said that they would be the battle for best of the rest. |
