Lando very depressed as you would imagine, doesn't even think overtaking is that easy
|
|
By:

|
|
By:

I do see the red bulls trying to hold off Lando late on, but it doesn't look likely he can grab his 8 points tomorrow
|
|
By:
-8 maybe
 |
|
By:
He'll catch the red bulls imo, they might be able to stall him though. Safety cars could decide the race
|
|
By:
With the amount of mistakes Lando makes, if he pushes too hard he probably won't finish the race.

But Norris acknowledged that making progress would depend on strategy choices in the race, because overtaking is difficult on the Baku street track despite the two-kilometre pit straight.
He said the fact that the slower cars in front of him had chosen to run low downforce to boost their speed on the straight would make it even more difficult. Norris said he was “disappointed and frustrated” with the result of qualifying but insisted that there was “nothing I could change”. “Everything is going to have to be done with strategy because you can’t overtake,” Norris said. “There are a plenty of cars at the back who have taken the wing off and hope for the best. “That makes it impossible for a lot of cars to overtake them. “The car is quick and we hope that will come into our hands and at some point I can get clean air. “But on a street circuit everything gets backed up and you kind of get forced into a position and you can’t do a lot at times. “We will hope for the best but I don’t expect anything much at all unless strategy comes into play.” |

Nothing they could change? Nobody else risked doing the first run on medium tyres and then had to trust nothing went wrong on the second run

Need to see the speed trap data. Sounds very much like lando is set up for speed on corners, not the straight
|
|
By:
yep he's got all the excuses after being sh1t all weekend
|
|
By:
Looking at last years speed trap and they were just about slowest
|
|
By:
makes you wonder if they knew this was coming but didn't care, damage limitation compared to the majority of circuits
|
|
By:
Being slowest in the speed trap can be fine if you qualify well, means you could be fastest round the lap, but a bit of a mare when it goes wrong. They could do nothing about charlie on the long monza straight, nowhere near him

There you go. Finish line is the most important |
|
By:
He goes down from 7th to 17th from the sped trap to the finish line. Going backwards

|
By:

|
By:
Verstappen won't be happy exactly but will be encouraged that perez's car worked well

|
By:
