2018 Baku GP: Race

Wait a minute. This is for a different penalty...using DRS.

Of course you can serve your 5sec penalty under the SC. He came into pit....the pit crew waited 5secs...then they did work on his car.

I swear they have penalised people in the past for serving a penalty under the SC

This is exactly why I am sick of the Hamilton show...ESPN calls it a "STUNNING WIN". Only Hamilton can be handed a race win and have his drive called stunning. Sickening really. If anyone still doesn't believe the Merc/Hamilton media bias, you're out to lunch. End rant/

Yeah, what did HAM do? Wasn't able to keep close to Seb, made a huge mistake in his first stint, couldn't get the softs to work.. BOT would have finished in front of him in an normal race.. He simply won because others crashed etc.. For PER you can say he did great by staying out of trouble, benefiting from Seb etc.. HAM didn't have to do a thing in this race..

[jgonzalesm6]

Both Verstappen and Ricciardo called to the stweards for the collision between Raikkonen and Ocon ????

Kimi had the space to take on, Ocon took tight into the corner. Ocon mistake

[mizf1]

apparently 2 uses of illegal DRS usage by Perez, looks like a clear slam dunk therapies it would not be investigated

Ha Pirelli debuts the special made Mercedes tyre in Barcelona, wonder if we see a Taxi 1-2 there...

Yup, but hes still STUNNING in the eyes of the British media.

Remember when Vettel won in Australia, all the media outlets kept saying that we were lucky, that Vettel only won because of the virtual safety car. How is this any different? Simple, HamRat can do no wrong. I hope Ferrari wipe the smiles off Sky, ESPN and all the other Hamilton Fanboys faces come the end of the season. We probably still wouldn't get any respect though....

I’m confused. So for one he got penalty, other he got away??

On Kimi I agree, Ocon shut the door and Kimi was already there and had no where to go.

Max is the next hamilton, the second coming...didn't you hear? He can do no wrong no matter how many times he crashes.

I know violence is not the answer, but I surely hope someone will punch this brat hard with clenched fist in face!

[Deephouse]

Can we just remember how Red Bull were supposedly the "fastest car".

Max has did something I never thought was possible I hate him more than Hamilton

Tyre tread is 4mm different to prevent blistering on the new tarmac, hardly Merc tyres and if you read up on it then nobody will notice a difference.

[nani_s23]

Let’s move on to the next race. We can’t do nothing about the past.
Hope for luck on our side this time.

Very lucky second place for Kimi, he said he hit the wall very hard at the end, but managed to continue running. Vettel was unlucky with SC but has only himself to blame for losing out to Hamilton, Raikkonen and Perez.

I disagree with people saying Verstappen was predominantly to blame for race-ending crash with Ricciardo, but his earlier move when he opened the steering and hit Ricciardo was pathetic. He did similar one to Hamilton in Bahrain. I think he needs to be disciplined.

Fantastic job for Leclerc, I am looking forward to see him racing for Scuderia in the future, a great talent. On the other hand, who else can go to Ferrari? Hulkenberg looked a good candidate yesterday but then you've got a good race when surprised happens and he causes collision and then crashes out, not for the first time. Sainz drove a solid race but is off Hulkenberg all season and still prone to rookie errors. Grosjean is not an answer, nor is Perez with his poor McLaren stint and struggles against Ocon and today's podium changes little. Magnussen might be an interesting option, he is a bit aggressive but has the speed and usually avoids silly mistakes like his team-mate does. But Charles is Ferrari's driver for the future.

[jgonzalesm6]

Both RedBull drivers admitted fault.

Here's the official statements from the FIA on both drivers....plus there is a streamable video of the breakdown of the crash

It’s been 2 races vet off the podium

[nani_s23]

Vet needs a win badly at the next race.
