 c&p'd the image. Odd race in that no one deserved to win it. Bottas had languished well behind throughout the race, holding ground at best but mostly falling slowly back. The safety car was perfectly timed for him to take advantage, he did. For once Ferrari responded correctly by matching Bottas' stop. I don't know if Vettel threw it all away when his lockup ruined his tires. Maybe he knew that was going to be his best chance with just a handful of laps to go. But yeah, no chance after that. The day long Red Bull battles showed how hard two equal cars had to fight for position. It looked like Ferrari and Merc were in a similar situation. Most rightly blame Max but there is a lot of support for both Red Bull drivers sharing some blame. I can't find a link to support this but have seen reference to the stewards giving no penalties, points or time but that Ricciardo got a reprimand. Maybe so but, if true, nothing for Max who had multiple move blocks all day. WTF? Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Someone told him he couldn't make two moves to block. Translated in his head to "oh, I must always make at least three or more moves, so 5 in one straight must surely be ok." They do both own some of that, but DR was no different than everyone else who came boiling up on folks on that straight and would also have been wrecked if someone pulled over just before braking and unloaded his wing. The difference; most other drivers wouldn't do that realizing they are going to wreck themselves from in front as well. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Today's F1 rumor-mill is saying that Miami may replace Baku for the 2019 season. Article I read said the pit boxes were sold to Miami after this season's race. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Miami would be interesting, but dang it Baku was a hoot! Hate to see it go. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Lots of action at the end that made it interesting, even if not a great race. If not for the flat tire, it would have been the same 4 guys, once again. The Red Bull team taking each other out...well, I’m guessing it’s past time for. “Come to Jesus” meeting. I’ve got a lot of catch-up with F-1 to do (I believe Jackie Stewart was the expert commentator of the races I watched prior to last season). As I said, just returning after a long absence, but if I’m Ricciardo, I punch Verstappen in the nose. Grosjean blames another driver for putting his car into the wall. That driver was 100 yards away  . dick_______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Here is an article from the last race in China. A race Max could have won but didn't due to "indiscretions". Sounds like you could write almost the same article about Baku. https://www.autosport.com/f1/n...-from-verstappen-now ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I hope this hasn't been posted. This is a tribute to Ayrton Senna, and it's really well done, touching on both what made him great and what made him controversial. He was Lewis Hamilton's hero and he gets the opportunity to drive Senna's McClaren in this video. Hope you enjoy it. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

Tmats, Thank you for sharing - a great video and tribute to an obviously great driver. Not a big Hamilton fan but got a new appreciation for him based on his reverence for Senna. ___________________________________________ The annual soothsayers and fortunetellers conference has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. | |||

I finally got a chance to watch the race Vettel blew it, a chance for a podium and 2nd, ended up in 4th at least Kimmi got a podium not happy that Hamilton won overall I liked the race as there were lots of opportunities to pass unlike most tracks [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

Check your DVRs, FP1 & FP2 to be aired on ESPNU. Not sure if it's just for this weekends GP, or a going forward plan. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

ESPN seems to be trying but I can't understand how little planning they put into something like this. They had over 6 months to get ready and it's not like they didn't have others to copy. Running all the shows without any commercials is great but can't go on forever. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Haas and Mclaren on a he fourth row for the best of the rest spots. Pretty good jump for McLaren’s new nose. Vettel and Kimi very close to the Mercs. I hope Ferrari can steal one in Spain. ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

What a yawner of a race ... And when can we get an American driver at HAAS? "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein | |||
