The circuit reminds me of Detroit
Hope Force India can get Checo's car repaired for FP2 |

Honda doing it again...
So chaotic with so many yellows. That narrow piece if track perhaps needs a rethink |

 Not driving into walls would seem to be the obvious solution.Red Bull have got to hope that Max didn't punch a driveshaft into the gearbox with his sideswipe. They're looking quick this weekend and don't need a grid drop for a gearbox change. |

40 spots back please Mr Alonso.
 Mercedes have apparently bought to the attention of the stewards an extra "oil" tank on the Ferrari. Interesting.

autosport reporting that they've amended the turn 8 kerbs, but also that sean gelael binned it there during the gp2 race. so it might just be that it's a hard corner and it needs respect

It does look like a circuit that is very difficult to overtake on. I think Red Bull might be good here - as it's a street circuit, and their aero and traction is good in those conditions. |

I can't say it's my favourite race on the calendar but the Ferrari v Mercedes battle keeps the interest alive.
Time for qualifying. |

What's more odd than Baku on the calendar? Tuning into my normal NBCSN to find Elizabeth II in a horse cart and not F1 q-ing.  To the matter at hand: Max has had an interesting weekend so far. And there's a few cool parts to this circuit. |

Daniel gets loose and makes contact with the wall contact. that might just do it.
Really interesting session this Q3 |

Red flag should make for an exciting last couple of minutes!

Well, there goes a great season with two teams fighting for the championship straight out the window.
I ain't got the energy to watch yet another Mercedes/Shamilton dominationfest. |

On C4 the picture broke up on the onboard-car shots a few times, but otherwise OK. I think any predictions of a "Mercedes-fest" may be a bit premature given the nature of the circuit........ |
