They should save the money and the environment and draw lots, let’s hope it rains later

Pourchaire Comes across as a nob, pushed in front on the slowdown lap, didn’t use the number two pedestal and didn’t talk to the other drivers

Just realised the Euro F3 race was even earlier this morning.

I'm watching PSC, it was good fun last time here. In fact, they might be the best cars here these days..

I watched it.

Exactly as predicted...

It’s fun watching them on that curb at the exit of Piscine. Close racing, but again not much in the way of overtaking.

We really need some rain in the next couple of hours.

At least they always manage a few passes here. It was a pretty dull race though!

The commentator annoyed me, suggesting we might have an overtake at any time when it was quite clear that was not going to happen.

Pretty much all over once they've spread out a bit. The best moves get made lap one typically. Did I see an abreast pass through the hairpin..? Won't be getting that in the GP!

They do this every year in the F1 to sell it to us that the last few laps are actually exciting. The reality is that once you park it on the racing line it's near on impossible to be overtaken.

Yep, exactly. The most dramatic demonstration probably was in 1992. Mansell put on a good show, but both he and Senna knew there was no way Nigel was going to get past, even with a 5-second per lap advantage.

F2 qualifying about to get underway in Baku.

Armstrong's engineer: "that's on you"

Imagine a RBR engineer trying that on Verstappen.....

That was funny

Iwasa’s “I am OK. Car is not OK.” was a good one too.

I have a feeling there will be at least one more red flag in the last five minutes.

F2 Sprint race about to get going in Baku.

Exciting but clean race so far. Hughes having a shocker from reverse pole though, a sitting duck on every lap down that straight.

Someone was always going to outbrake themselves at some point, and Hauger was as good a candidate as any. Now, what is it they say about safety cars breeding safety cars!

I don't know, what do they say?
