[@ryannowbuth7879]

+FORMULA 1 I feel so bad for Felipe Massa- he could've won this race, what with Hamilton's headrest coming loose, and Vettel's 10 second stop go penalty. It would have been his first win, since that fateful Brazil 2008 race at Interlagos. Just when everything seemed to be going his way, the rear damper gave up on him. But huge respect to Massa, he didn't let his disappointment stop him from being happy for his team-mate's maiden podium. I hope one day Massa gets that win (or maybe even a championship), for being a good sport throughout his career (especially at Brazil 2008), as well as his admirable personality.

F1 race checklist (bit late soz) Baku Mclaren DNF ❌ Stroll crashing ❌ Palmer more than 10 places behind teammate ❌ Haas in 11th ❌ Generic Lewis Hamilton radio celebration ❌ Verstappen DOTD ❌ Reason for Vettel and Hamilton fanboys to have a flame war on every social media ✔️ Shoey ✔️

[@TheJokerit19]

2017 Azerbaijan GP: Daniel Ricciardo wins from P10 on the grid. 2022 Hungarian GP: Max Verstappen wins from P10 on the grid.

[@Thefent30]

Bro I was there in the starting grandstand back then, I still kinda miss 2017

[@ryusei998]

I have been waiting for 15 years a race like that... Thanks a LOT!

[@Samizein]

This was my favorite race so far. It was great to see different faces on podium. Too bad Verstappen's car broke again he really has had a bad luck lately.

[@BloodDerg]

Samizein RB13, (un)lucky for some....

[@notbadriver]

Danny Ric was awesome i miss him..

[@itmedaee]

Baku 2021 Was lit 🔥

[@thesoulofthehero468]

WHAT A RACE! One of my favourite

[@gianpaolomartini5196]

This is why I love F1!!!! Passion, drama, overtakes, contacts, incidents, retirements, furious battles, great recoveries, unforgettable team-radios by Kimi and Fernando, Lance at podium, 2 McLaren finishing the race!!!!

[@fastlightning9287]

Who watches this after Azerbaijan 2021?

[@mountaineering.azerbaijan]

This race is the most viewed GP in 2017 :)

[@riderix5687]

nope its monaco

[@mountaineering.azerbaijan]

@@riderix5687 prooflink pls

[@bee9026]

i don't think 7:34 mins is not enough to cover everything during that race tbh

[@bee9026]

but thank you f1 youtube for including the 6:21 clip

[@fernandoalonso9543]

First points!!!

[@tkwick1006]

Lol u made this channel just to say that

[@hifriend7581]

Why is the camera direction so much better here compare to 2021 onwards..

[@DJBOGOSFLOFFICIAL]

4:22 underrated save from HULK

[@rashtaji8187]

I don't understand why people hate this track. This sh*t was sickkkkkk. Hate Monaco, but not this one..

[@sirmay2944]

Rash Taji it's because the track is wide, not like Monaco...

[@angelodandrea5368]

Rash Taji Singapore in the end should be out.. Baku is a funny track and Monaco represents the history of F1

[@cptspoofy]

Singapore is dank.

[@Lucky8s]

Ms _ 16 Learn what 'iconic' means.

[@mateagoston7113]

I hate the hate on both tracks! Yeah, even the hate on Monaco! Lots of Monaco races gave us action, more than most Tilkedromes. (non-street circuits)

[@gianpaolomartini5196]

FIA, please can we do the 12 remaing Grand Prix at Baku!?!?

[@aidenton1172]

Gianpaolo Martini you mean remaining rounds with SC shit tires and debris everywhere?

[@gianpaolomartini5196]

+skanderbeg77 Nope!!!! I mean passion, drama, overtakes, contacts, incidents, retirements, furious battles, great recoveries, unforgettable team-radios by Kimi and Fernando, Lance at podium, 2 McLaren finishing the race!!!!

[@christophermichael8010]

Gianpaolo Martini I would like this Debris Caution on lap 10 Pirelli giving cold tires for everyone Palmer leading the race ahead of Ericsson Vandoorne wins There 👍

[@aidenton1172]

Gianpaolo Martini overtakes are on aomost every circuit nowadays with DRS Safety car created more opportunities today with long straight after restarts with shit tires and many incidents are caused by this idiotic wide front wings

[@sirmay2944]

skanderbeg77 That's why everyone likes this race! drama, crash, SC, red flag, unexpected retirement... it's the best race of the year

[@niemoikein4330]

“When did I do dangerous driving then?” You can hear the smirk in his voice there.

Baku 2021 🤯💥🔥☄

[@GoldMonkeyGamer]

Need a camera in the Austrian drivers briefing

[@jraybay]

- Congrats to Lance Stroll. Shut all those bandwagoners up finally - *Shame max wasn't a part of that race* - Force India lost a chance at some big points and/or a podium - Wehrlein P10 and again no one noticed lol - Massa... Super unlucky - Nice racing and overtakes all over the place especially Danny Ric and K Mag - Bottas making something out of nothing Good entertaining race

[@sirmay2944]

Sadly it's true, almost no one noticed when wehrlein gets points... at Austria 2016 because Rosberg's tyre puncture, at Catalunya 2017 because Kimi's little fan who cried and Baku 2017 because McLaren got points

[@axellofgren7679]

Jraybay Whe just got the points because the team ordered Eri to let him pass because he was on newer tyres and could maybe catch Alo. Eri also had a damaged floor wich made him a bit slower. but Whe didn't catch Alo and he didn't let the position back... So does he really deserve those points when Eri actually did the hard work?

[@South4153]

Jraybay bottas fucked not only his but also kimis race. once again.

[@moritzm2143]

South4153 exactly! Driving over the kerb like that is not a racing incident but just being stupid. A formula 1 driver in one the top 3 teams should know that.

[@meerkatandpug]

Lance Stroll made himself look stupid when he claimed it was 'the best GP of all time'.

[@bitvomit374]

Just came here to see williams in top ten and on the podium I miss those williams

[@josmahdollista6520]

this is so much more entertaining than the current season
