Total shambles of organisation there in the pit Lane. Hopefully tear up the Azerbaijan contract and never come back to this borefest of a track

Horner getting on the radio to Max to tell him that Perez got lucky before congratulating Perez, what a toxic team.

That was madness. How was nobody able to get them off the pitlane after knowing that the car was coming for so long.

Not sure that was even a Baku issue so much as a procedural issue with F1…

Always wondered what happens if you pit and then get lapped right after the leader finishes the race? Do you then go out and go balls to the wall with slow cars on track, marshalls potentially walking about, potential fan invasion, etc.?

FIA really ought to find out about the revolutionary “closed pit” system we use here in the US.

Max outclasses by Checo and then to make it worse he got mugged by George for the fastest lap :lol:

Longest stetch of road between corners on the F1 calendar and basically nobody could overtake.

Can't follow through corners anymore either apparently.

It's strange
It really looks like floor changes made it much much worse than it was last year.

Perez 2 races out of 4 was able to fend of Verstappen. Impressive. Yes, RB sunk verstappen with that silly pitstop timing, but this was down to Ver feeling the heat in those few laps before the stop.

Max had 3/4 of the race to pass him, Perez had his number.

Which makes Horner getting on the radio after the race to say that Checo just got lucky all the more terrible.

only interesting things were Perez going so well compared to Max and Ham recovering that unlucky pit stop and overtaking 4 cars

You couldn't stomach Max getting Max'd yesterday though. 😁
