FIA have denied the Baku stuf that was reported this morning

Only the safety cars and massive long straight make it any good.

Long straight and lots of tight corners but with room for overtaking unlike somewhere like Monaco, if they’d had softer tyres that degraded more it would have been even better. 2 out of its 3 years so far have been great

Baku is a great circuit

Goes across the water and back.

Bleeeuuurrrrgggghhhh
That just looks completely fucking shite to race on. Overtaking is going to be almost impossible.

 

[Nando]

Wet GP3 race. Let the carnage ensue.

Long straights followed by hairpins is surely the ideal overtaking opportunity? It also a straight into a chicane which is ideal like Monza.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ninety degree corners all over it. It just will look boring and will be boring to drive.

Lewis Hamilton has slaughtered it.

 

[The Bear]

Looks ok to me, but you need to see a car go round to properly judge it.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

You want flowing corners. A succession of ninety degree rubbish in a grid system city doesn't offer that. There's a reason why Maggots and Eau Rouge are considered the best corners in racing.

 

[The Bear]

They are but they don't necessarily make good races with plenty of overtaking.

Like Baku. I don't like the track but it had a pretty good race this year.

 

[The Bear]

What the hell is Grosjean doing flooring it coming back across the track like that? Numpty.

 

[Nando]

Grosjean should be banned for that. Absolutely idiotic.

 

[The Bear]

This is going to be a very dull race if it's a one-stopper.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

depends if it rains I guess. There is supposed to be a high chance of that.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Standard race in Barca....

 

[Freddeno]

Soft tyres seems to be best this year so far..

In what will be a shock to no-one, Verstappen crashes heavily in FP3 at Monaco.

And starts last as a result. Would have been a comfortable 1-2 for red bull otherwise. Wonder what Kvyat is thinking right now?
