Nico Rosberg has won the inaugural Grand Prix at Baku, leading the race from start to finish. Sebastian Vettel finished a distant second, and he too was unthreatened in that position. Perhaps the happiest man on the podium was Sergio Perez, who followed up on his podium finish at Monaco some weeks earlier.
It looks like his car was stuck in 4th gear. He also reported a loss of power. He might have to take a gearbox penalty if his gearbox isn't 6 races old yet.Vasconia wrote:Not a lot of information about that, no smoke and no signs of a collision.dans79 wrote:what happened to Rosberg?
I was just going to write how amazing are the Mercedes being the fastest ones, and the ones who make more laps without a problem...
Normally he (and HAM) got a new gearbox after Spain, but because that one it still have some life in it (just four GP-s and a corner), it would be logical that they use it for long runs on Friday.flickerf1 wrote:It looks like his car was stuck in 4th gear.

yea, he lost 1.2 seconds because of that mistake. One thing fore sure this track will heavily penalize any mistakes on the part of the driver.
That's a pretty rude steering wheel.Kiril Varbanov wrote:https://twitter.com/antoniogranato/stat ... 2895572992
