The Official 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Thread **Spoilers**

[Blayney]

Long safety car good for Alonso might be able to go flat out for a few more laps...

[London424]

Bottas should get this timed to perfection. Nice warm tyres too.

[Sylvaforever]

Well this is fairly contrived

Quite amusing the the SC is probably going flat out, and Hamilton is on the radio saying it's going way too slow.

So what is a faster (Mercedes) option for a safety car than a Mercedes GT/SLS/SL AMG ? A DTM or GT3 spec car? A Pagani?

[SmoothCriminal]

Can't see how Bottas caught up

[TheLimla]

Should have a mclaren p1 as a safety car

[SmoothCriminal]

This is worse than BTCC for safety cars!

[London424]

Jeez. Use the VSC!

[VolvoT5]

So Kimi's car is now literally falling apart

[Sylvaforever]

Wtf is going on

[ajprice]

Hamilton on the radio

[slipstream 1985]

This was one of the most boring races last year yet so far so good.

Lewis agrees with you

What a shamble. The track is awful. Get out of the place from next season.

[Z3MCJez]

Second SC is a joke. VSC at worst. Probably red and yellow flag - it wasn't on the track.

Still, NBCSN gets to go to another set of commercials 🙄

This, fair enough use the safety car to bunch up the pack but let them do 2 laps under VSC to get tyre temps up afterwards

[Blayney]

Kimi playing Mario Kart dropping red shells behind him.

Well Done Baku

I guess this leaves more empty track for the marshals to do the housework... but I'm not convinced that's the main reason behind the decision!
