So what do we think of the track? Seems to have been a pretty demanding track.

True but teams being bendy with the rules can be fun...... till they get caught
They would get caught straight a way.
Even if they used songs as code they would get in trouble.

Eh I was quite bored, but to be fair, I'd say this trying to follow Le Mans is probably why.

Surely one of the so called bigger teams must be having a good think about signing him. He clearly has a good race pace and is probably the best driver out there when it comes to saving tyres.

Nico hurting his eye. That's it with his championship run.

Yeah let's not race here again.
Surprised Lewis finished that low to be honest, these issues are what's bad about F1.

Maybe it's my increasing sense of antipathy regarding F1 (this is the first race I've watched this year), but I can't say I enjoyed the race. Rosberg had the race sewn up from the start, and the lack of the almost inevitable SC (which would have helped freshen up the proceedings) didn't help. It says a lot that the only thing I can remember from that was Lewis and Kimi pleading with their engineers...
Overall: Meh.

If he were to be signed by one of the bigger teams, my guess would be Williams. Although Force India does seem to have the car to match Williams atm.

That's 3 races in a row with 3 different teams on the podium.
I had high hopes after the GP2 races (as I thought I posted here, looks like somebody deleted it) but this race was a bit dull.

It's a tough choice if there are no seats anywhere apart from Force India and Williams do you stick or twist as they are similar teams.

Well someone has to be a fault, right?

I understand where people are coming from regarding Nico basically playing hide the Mercedes but at least down the grid there were plenty of overtakes. It's clearly a better track than Monaco. It's only its 1st race here. I'm sure some people were writing off some of the newer circuits but they then produced some classics so let's give it some time.
Obviously so has to be Lewis'sWell someone has to be a fault, right?

Niki Lauda has said on TV Rosberg had the same problem as Hamilton but found the correct setting a lot quicker than Hamilton did.

Toto Wolff mentioned this as well, but also noted that Rosberg also had the advantage of having to solve that same problem another time.

Baku is nice to look at and it looked rather promising early on.
After the race, might as well call it how it was, Bore. Not much to comment about overall. Perez scored a podium and that's nice. Shame about Hamilton's gremlins because that meant no battle for podium. Kimi's radio comments provided most of my entertainment. Other than that, I think part of the problem today was that the entire grid drove rather conservatively because this was the first time driving in actual racing conditions at a place with limited runoffs.
If there is one positive, anyone that stayed up to watch the end of LeMans and jumped over to F1 can sleep easier now.
