Max Verstappen will turn in a great lap time, possible top time, but with absolutely no contention for his spot.
Pierre Gasly will have his car tuned well for the Chinese Grand Prix
Kimi Raikkonen will touch his face.
Both Williams will finish the race.
One Racing point will finish in the points, and the other will bomb out.
Romain Grosjean won't mention which IMSA/GT team is already courting him.

And Mario slows on the back straight.

Baku is a cheesy circuit ( loose drain covers?). I appreciate street circuit quirks but the Castle section that ate up Kubica and Le Clerc is a bit much.

On the bright side, that can mean a wild and unpredictable race.

8 am a good start time for us. We'll enjoy

Ok, seriously, who's running the Ferrari garage?

How do they keep ruining their own strategies? The Mercedes essential got a lap or 2 for free, and even allowed Leclare to "tow" the two Mercedes. They worried that the soft won't last in the last 15 laps of the race... Ok, understandable, but shouldn't they have made that consideration BEFORE the race?

But nope, we'll just leave Leclare out there with no tires.
