Baku 2016
This track looks nuts .
I expect lots of safety car periods , and long ones as cars and debris will be hard to clear .
This must be hell for those with businesses downtown , crippled for the sake of the show .
I'll predict 12 cars will reach the checkered flag , in a time limited race .
Hey , notice that I got the century right this time ? Pretty clever , eh ?

Yeah , I expect utter carnage ., with a lot of layout re-thinking before next year , if there is a next year for this race .
I wouldn't put it past protesters of the government to breach the track to disrupt things either , and given it's longest straight is about 2km , it might be pretty hard to stop .
I just hope all goes smoothly and that everyone leaves this walled F1 pinball game uninjured .

The straight is extremely bumpy, scares the shit out of me.

The seats are pretty empty in FP3. It's pretty alarming for an inogural race.
Forza Jules! Forza Michael!

I'm thinking that a Webber-esque flip could end up in the ramparts of that castle!!!

They just mentioned that there were only 10 finishers in the lower classers .
I think it's likely we'll get some penalties for impeding in qually , and some interesting moments with people backing onto the track .
Then , the race will get ugly .
There will be lots for us all to talk about after this one .
Ogier likes to moan about everything and nothing, so no surprise.
