I guess that's what happens when you combine a street circuit with a good overtaking circuit. There's no room for error on street circuits but there's minimal passing in Singapore and none in Monaco so Baku has that added element of risk so it's just pure chaos.

Bottas --> excellent race with supremely bad luck

[@Dan-tn1fl]

I agree that Bottas race was good, but he did not have to fight for any positions during the race. He took the lead during the safety car. However, Alonso firstly had to drag a totally broken car back into the pits, damage his entire floor and sensors and still manage to finish 7th. That's why he deserved the driver of the day. Many teams would have retired after the incident but not Alosno. He continued like a warrior.

[@hagarthehorrible1391]

This is so much better than Monaco

[@0rouni0]

Tbf i even think this is even harder track than Monaco for drivers. In Monaco you can pretty much give your car high downforce settings because its pretty much only corners, but in Baku there is also that 2.2km long straight so if you put your car too much downforce you gonna lose a lot of time on that final sector. So teams has to adjust the car to be both good in corners and fast on that final sector, what makes drivers job a lot harder. Also that turn 8 is pretty mad looking because you cannot mishandle it even slightly or you end up in a wall, probably one of the hardest corners in F1 atm.

Frank dms Monaco was never suited for any F1 cars in the first place. Heck it doesn't even suit any of the best European supercars let alone the the Rally cars. It only exists for that province to make money every year and generates the most money of any the of F1 tracks on the Calender. The other reason is it kept is because winning there is truly special for any Driver. Senna did it 7 times. The track was never designed for such speeds especially when nothing has changed since inception in the 1930's.

Karl Walters purposely blocking a pass is defending your position dude, although i have to admit the way he defended was completely wrong

[@jiska111111111111111]

Well nobody can talk to you in the first place youre so biased anyway. Ricciardo too greedy and forgot/couldnt see when to brake, verstappen did so he went into him

[@ttiization]

I've watched the Race, I come here just for this beautiful comment section 😀

[@ttiization]

The beauty is in the public interaction over such a huge event. And I don't think we can classify humor as immature

[@IbokRock811]

After such a boring race in Baku this year 😅 I had to come back to this banger!!

[@TheJmsbrown]

Baku is a fantastic event. The Best of the state tracks. F1 should sign them up for 10 years...

[@jorgefigueras9731]

Baku never disappoints, what a crazy race

[@_Danaos.Michalopoulos]

Hahaha

[@vascofilipe3126]

7 laps of Safety Car and there's still debree on the track. #WellDoneBaku

[@Juan9312Mora]

Vasco Barbosa the track is so damn long it is difficult to clean it completely. However, there's this thing I cannot fully understand, why was there debris in the main straight when there wasn't an incident? Alonso's car debris? But that was early in the race so...I still don't understand. Sad for Bottas, he deserved that win.

[@vascofilipe3126]

Juan David Mora I know it's not easy. But damn, there was more than one piece of carbon fibre there. In the middle of the damn main straight, probably the place with more marshalls of the track. How did they not spoted it !?

[@lepokefan3562]

Its probably the debris from ric and max

[@theam2991]

It was debris from collision between Magnussen and Gasly at the restart a lap ago, which hasn't been shown. Bottas couldn't see it lap earlier, because there was none.

[@elffabius]

Race Control didn't allow to clean the track, observer from marshal's side informed them twice before SC went to pits, so...

[@zombiekill88]

Liberty media wants to do 25 races? Lets do 5 times Baku then! Will be a new winner every race...

[@chrisk3479]

And less Teams because they can't afford the repairs on their cars anymore...

Here after watching Hamilton restart in '21. At least Sebastian managed to finish the race in 4th but yet he got slandered for this mistake.

[@antonisgg6746]

@BallersKingdom They both made the same mistake but Hamilton did a lot worse. So much worse that it cost him 25 pts in the drivers championship and he finished 20th. Hamilton never gets criticized like Vettel for his mistakes ever, and that's just unfair

[@BenRumbold]

[@Snowboarder54688]

That restart by Bottas was pure perfection!

[@Justin44777]

agreed

[@PatrickVS101]

It was pretty good, but gave Vettel a chance. By comparison Vettel reducing the length of the straight was far more advantageous after the first safety car. Check out the F2 feature race for some safety car restart shenanigans.

[@louischim2000]

If you would see previous races he's pretty good it

[@horsthofsass765]

Without any doubt. That mindblowing acceleration of the mercedes by Bottas in that move is what comes to my mind first when i think of this race even there was a lot of other actions on the track

[@josephanaedozie9058]

Driver of the day: Charles Leclerc! It was an emotional day for Charles Leclerc who finished in P6 for Alfa Romeo Sauber in his f1 career! Leclerc dedicated his achievements to his late best friend Jules Bianchi who sadly passed away 3years ago in 2015! #ForzaJules17 🙏💔😢
