Dominant Lewis bounces back, Vettel maximum damage limitation and somehow DannyRic gets another podium .............must have stolen Max his luck. ;)
Force India picking up more points for the 4th in Team Championship
Ricciardo is such a lucky sob this year, can't remember any notable on track moves.
Verstappen really needs a car that isn't powered by a baguette spinning between two croissants.

This race weekend we are in Baku, for the
It is a mix of a street circuit and the longest straight on the F1 calender so Mercedes powered cars should do great, but I do not believe that Ferrari power this season is to far behind them, so round 8 Vettel vs Lewis should be close again.
And latest Groundhog news is that both Fernando and Stoffel need a new engine and will start from the back of the grid on Sunday :(
And other news out of the F1 world from the last week:
Sauber needs a new team manager as Kaltenborn steps down.
And calender for 2018, Malaysia gone and two new races in France and Germany is back. Also first tripple header, 3 races in 3 weeks, France/Austria/GB.

By Kidjr Go To PostGosh thanks for the clips and highlights.np and your were probably wondering how Alonso's new engine is doing ;)
Run Fernando Run
Was about to post that it was a great day for Max and RBR..........almost...still fastest in both FP sessions, but bit silly error.
Lewis day summed up in his almost accident with Kimi. He was struggling, like so many others (Vettel must have parked his car 8(??)), but never got a good lap going. Race pace looks like 3 teams close, maybe Vettel/Fer just 1/2 tenths ahead.
......looks like a good race on Sunday.
oh and what a mess :O

When you crash you blame something else, so now we have an adjusted kerb in to the narrow castle corner
worked just great in the Formula 2 race earlier ;)

By Kidjr Go To PostThis race has three safety cars written all over it lolF1 engineering is at such a complex high level, that when you see an other team do something (invent) you try to duplicate that. If that fails, you try to higher personal from that team that knows what they are doing. So every season you see a lot of people moving around. The chat about Honda is that they see it as an engineering challenge and that they want to solve their own problems. But F1 develops at such a high pace that you are rather quickly left behind.

What's rumour and what's true we probably will learn in 10/15 years time when someone involved writes his memoires. Such a big shame that Fernando has to drive this junk :(
Other news, looks ok for Vettel and Max for Q.
Yeah that's usual Merc power + Fer+ RBR in the top 10. Amazing that Lewis has been shit all weekend and now from lap 1 was fast, set-up changes must have worked wonders.
DannyRic trying a bit to hard, kid is putting him under pressure

Is this error in his first lap gonna cost Lewis his pole?
Mercedes need two flying laps to heat the tires and with 3.33 left gonna be close, needs to be one of the 1st out.

Ahh Max had some issues with gearing in his last run, that cost him fight for 3rd......cannot catch a break this year :(
Those points in Canada have done him a world of good. Let's see where he takes his form.
I expect the same to happen tomorrow.

Clean start for all and some nice racing, shouldn't be to much to ask for. Then again looking at the FP sessions, maybe it is to much wishful thinking.
Fins not listening :P
