2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand PrixFormula 1

[RazorSharkz]

First year since 2013 where at least 3 constructors have won a race.

 

[20832]

Well done, Baku!

 

[prisonermonkeys]

That's not what it looked like to me, or many others. I guess we're gonna have to wait for the telemetry.

The thing that bothers me is that everyone gave Hamilton the benefit of the doubt, but nobody extended that same courtesy to Vettel. Why is it so easy to believe that Hamilton misjudged the position of his car while keeping his head, but not that Vettel misjudged his in a moment of anger?

 

[C-ZETA]

Well done Baku! Didn't think it had that in its locker.

Well done Ricciardo, well done Stroll.

 

[NW48]

You couldn't get a more contrasting duo of races than this year and last year in Baku.

 

[Carbonox]

I only saw the last laps mainly, but I think this race would've deserved the "WELL DONE BAKU"'s much more than last year's.

 

[FoRiZon]

Stroll so awkward there.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I think it's for the best that Hamilton and Vettel won't be in the cool down room together.

 

[Terronium-12]

I know there are no friends on the track, but you couldn't let Stroll have that one? Really, Bottas?

 

[20832]

BREAKING NEWS

Conor McGregor vs. Flyod Mayweather has been cancelled. Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel are going to replace them in the fight.

 

[Peter.]

McLaren finished a race in the points, two things you wouldn't bet on. Encouraging that they scored points on a power circuit, but too little too late perhaps?

BAKU HAS WELCOMED US ALL AGAIN

They were very different incidents. What Vettel did was inexcusable.

That would been so incredibly cringey and awkward.

Why is it so easy to believe that Hamilton misjudged the position of his car while keeping his head, but not that Vettel misjudged his in a moment of anger?

Because Hamilton's telemetry is instantly available to the stewards - if he'd "brake tested" Vettel he would have been penalised.

Every viewer saw Vettel pull alongside and swerve into Hamilton, if he was capable of that kind of misjudgement then he wouldn't be fit to drive any car.

This. Hamilton may or may not have been wrong, but Vettel really should have never taken matters into his own hands and shunted him. He would have won today if he didn't so he learned his lesson.

Second youngest podium in F1 by Stroll..

 

[20832]

I think this gif sums up the race quite well:

 

[andrea]

Haha who in their right mind would've put money on a Stroll podium 4 weeks ago.

 

[GTFan24]

Someone set up a boxing ring on the track for Vet and Ham!

 

[Dhalism]

Haha who in their right mind would've put money on a Stroll podium 4 weeks ago.

I think it's a bit of a ridiculous trend among F1 fans thinking that a driver isnt capable of learning and improving.

Second youngest podium in F1 by Stroll..

Youngest rookie on a podium

To be fair, that had a better chance of happening than a McLaren finishing a race. Both of those things happened today.

Which of course means the world is ending.

 

[Ryk]

The Grand Duchy of Milton Keynes has a nice anthem

 

[IforceV8]

He speeds up.

turning in down 24 kph as expected

and the braking after the turn, impact from rear was 1 sec after he let off the brakes.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Ricciardo trying to set a new fashion standard...

 

[Touring Mars]

I wish I'd have put 1p on a RIC-BOT-STR podium, as I would be a millionaire by now...

This. Hamilton may or may not have been wrong, but Vettel really should have never taken matters into his own hands and shunted him. He would have won today if he didn't so he learned his lesson.

Vettel's bump likely was not intentional, but if you pull up that close to another car during an SC period and take your hand off the wheel to gesticulate and lose control, you completely DESERVE a penalty.

 

[JayOTT]

If there was ever an 11/10 formula 1 race, this was it. Felt like every single lap something was happening or about to happen...
