    Well done to Lewis , on the pole again . Perfectly timed tow from Riccardo .

    Sausage curbs need work .
    Maybe they could change the spacing so that going wide is still punished , but not quite so brutally .
    It looks to me that they are able to handle the suspension movement , but , at that kind of speed , are landing right before the next one , which launches the tire with the compression created within .

    Ride over six or seven of them and the momentum of the extreme wag up and down pushes the suspension parts well beyond designed strength .

    Move them apart another foot or two and the compression and subsequent harmonics should disappear , I think . Removing every second one would likely work as well .

    Move them closer together and you'd get roughly the same effect , as they'd ride over without touching down in between .


    They do need to have something there , but it needs to punish , not wreck cars .

    So , we've got them complimenting each other , now looking like best buddies .




    Not gonna last .
    Kind of reminds me of bickering kids who've been told by their parents to shake hands and make up. And, grudgingly, they both do. Then they try to out "nice" each other... in the most fake way possible. I don't believe either one of them.

    Whilst Button did do well , his team mate Fred was given the wrong tires , so he was made to look a little better than he might have .

    To be fair , Rosberg said the dynamic hadn't really changed at all , refuting Lewis's stance that they were all "nicey-nicey" .

    Nico also , apparently , called him out on saying he was wary of the Baku pit entrance , almost crapping himself as someone crossed his bow going in at the end of a stint , when he was belittling the safety concerns of other drivers in the press .
    Max , then was asked , and called him out on it as well .

    So , yeah , no happy pals relationship there , to be sure .

    Just great. Rain is the only thing that will prevent Lewis to run away with the victory today.

    By the way, here is a great test for Niko Hulkenberg. Will this lad ever step onto the (F1) podium or is he cursed?

    Unlike Nico R, I don´t Think Nico H will yield in the first or second corner.
