After the Spring Break we returned to Baku with a new sprint weekend format. But Sunday is always the main event, no matter what the format.
Street circuits are notorious for safety cars but with only one full safety car and two DNFs, it’s the safest street race I’ve seen in a while.
There were plenty of clipped corners at turn 15, but it’s safe to say, the race was no where near as dramatic as we expected.
The biggest controversy was George Russell. Who raised plenty of eyebrows this weekend.
First with his overtake on Max Verstappen in the sprint race and now with his cheeky ‘half overtake’ on Stroll in the pit.
But what do you think, cheeky or bad sportsmanship?
A Potential Human Pile Up?
Whilst there were no major collisions on track we almost had a human pile up when Ocon made a late pitstop. Media personnel flooded the pit lane, failing to acknowledge that Ocon was yet to make his mandatory pit stop…
In terrifying scenes which Sky Sports commentators David Croft and Karun Chandhok called a ‘complete and utter shambles’, photographers were seen leaping out of the way of the approaching Alpine.
How was this allowed to happen?
If Ocon was inches closer, this race would of ended in tragedy.
