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.

Probably won't go trough. A simple lock up and you can change the tires? I don't think so. Otherwise everyone would do it by "mistake" after they've done their lap.
This was also discussed on Sky Germany. Big chance it goes through.Juzh wrote:Probably won't go trough. A simple lock up and you can change the tires? I don't think so. Otherwise everyone would do it by "mistake" after they've done their lap.
1.2 seconds on the straight advantage as per Marko?Juzh wrote:It's pretty clear from the not slipstream affected speed traps mercedes does indeed have a sizeable advantage over the rest of the PUs. 100% fact and everyone smart enough to say otherwise can go watch live timing for the entire hour.
1.2s on the straight was rubbish, yes. 0.6s is reasonable though. And that's renault. The real surprise actually is Ferrari which was no better and actually slower in the final sector. Both cars are running quite low wing so even that can't entirely explain it.FoxHound wrote:1.2 seconds on the straight advantage as per Marko?Juzh wrote:It's pretty clear from the not slipstream affected speed traps mercedes does indeed have a sizeable advantage over the rest of the PUs. 100% fact and everyone smart enough to say otherwise can go watch live timing for the entire hour.
Rubbish.
Mercedes do have an advantage, nobody is disputing that, but the fact is that even with 366kmh Bottas still finished behind a Renault and Ferrari engine, which incidently make up places 2 and 3 on the grid.
Yes, just compare the nothingness RBR and also McHonda are running as a rearwing and still are not able to match an FI in top speed.Juzh wrote:It's pretty clear from the not slipstream affected speed traps mercedes does indeed have a sizeable advantage over the rest of the PUs. 100% fact and everyone smart enough to say otherwise can go watch live timing for the entire hour.

Williams is a known joke in any slow corners and shouldn't really be put into equation. The only reason they're at all competitive is that PU. That's been true since 2014.
It has an advantage, but not anywhere near as much as is being made out by Red Bull.LionKing wrote:Did Marco said 1.2 sec on the straight only or over the whole lap due to Merc PU?
I also think that Merc has substantial advantage in PU, likey multidimensional top end power, acceleration, and drivability.
