Hard to tell from the glare on Max's wheel but it looked like the slowest corner was 3rd, maybe 4th gear

At Baku at least you have some hard braking zones into slow corners.

I see a lot of tire degradation from Turn 13 to 27, with 27 being the only place to freely overtake, maybe Turn 12. Tire punctures seem to be happening at the kerb. Man, IDK, is going to be an interesting race. I really think it will come down to grid position and how well the strategy is planned for each team. We all know that RB has the fastest pit times.

It’s OK, They should be able to rebuild the turn 23 walls overnight.

At least it was not in late qualifying!

That's a good point. I'm almost looking forward to see who gets Tsunoda-ed (or Mazepinned?) this time around as that is likely the only way we're gonna avoid yet another snoozefest of a race.

What do you reckon they can salvage? I know - the bolt that holds the sun visor.

The camera bars at the top and the left mirror for sure.

Everyone was "Balls to the Wall" and the fast cars seemed very twitchy. I saw a lot of quick counter steering going on. Depending on who you believe, (the commentators, Christian or Toto) Max was either 2 1/2 tenths, 4 tenths or 5 tenths up on Lewis at the time of incident. We all know he can be a "checkers or wreckers" kind of driver at times.

Max had it in the bag. No need to go BTW (literally) on the last corner. Bummed for him more bummed if he has to take a grid penalty

Spuds · 12-04-2021, 04:50 PM

Aaaahhhh maaaannn... That's just rough. Can't say Max wasn't comitted at least. I'm predicting Max pulls off the win here regardless.

2/10ths advantage disappears pretty quick. I think he had the right state of mind. He isn't going to beat Hamilton without taking some risk.
