    With it's ultra long straight and heavy braking areas, the Baku City circuit favors Mercedes just like Montreal.

    Thoughts? I think it looks like another Mercedes "walk in the park". I hope I'm wrong.

    Sector 1 and Sector 2....favors Ferrari

    Sector 3 I believe turns 17 thru 20 is flat out full throttle.......favors the Mercs.

    It will be close IMO.

    Wider cars and narrow streets = crapshoot.

    Hopefully, like last year, elton will have been too busy taking selfies and ****tering to bother with any simulator work, and will turn up unprepared again and make a balls up of the weekend, ending up behind both ferraris and bottles, and with luck, two red bulls, two Mary's, two Williams and a sauber or two. No matter how much I want to dream it, I don't think I'm crazy enough to dream of mclaren making the end, let alone beating anyone there!

    Today in Baku the big surprise is Red Bull being first quick with Max. The second biggest surprise is Hamilton down in 10th.

    Let's hope he stays there, and clips a wall or two in the race to not finish

    Hamilton is "bewildered" by the harder tires...

    Lol

    I am looking forward to qualifying. I predict many yellow / red flags

    Perhaps his depth perception or peripheral vision is not the best?
