    Im thinking tires, again, will be the mystery factor for the weekend. Not a circuit known for high degradation If Im correct.

    Would be interesting to see how the Ferrari's do here, the 2nd street circuit of the season.

    If we're strong here it'll start looking really good for the season, as that means we'll be quick on most tracks.

    I am really intrigued by this venue. The race last year was a barn-burner.

    +1 the castle section/tight turn area is prime for that and turn 1 and 2.

    Last year at Baku was a wild race! The lower degradation of this circuit on the Pirelli chart above might help Mercedes if they have been failing to manage their tires as well as Ferrari. Happy to have another race this week!

    If he does he will point the blame at everyone or anything but himself.

    While not a photo of this weekends setup i came across this picture of the Mercedes from China. The holes on the brake housing is to help keep heat in the tires under cooler temp.It also looks like they are running a psudo "double diffuser".

    Hopefully Ferrari get back on track and stay ahead of the aggravation from behind, and if Maxine wants to play bumper cars again, he slots in behind the Mercedes pair to do it. If he does have issues in this race, they seriously need to consider race suspensions (unless he puts elton in the wall, then they need to hand out an extra trophy at the end)

    To be fair to Stroll, he kept it cleaner than a lot of drivers did last year. Crashing hasn't been his problem, absence of pace has.
