2021 Race 6 - Baku

[Nitrodaze]

With three of the most exciting drivers on the front row, we are set for an exciting race today. Leclerc is reminding us of what a great racer he is. It is hard to tell now, who would win the race. The Merc is still looking vulnerable but they did a great job turning it around. Helped by the crash l think. I think Verstappen could have taken pole, given a clean qualifying session. It is what it is!

With the blustery winds at Baku, we are certain to see more crashes during the race. Hence this is one race where an unlikely winner could emerge. Bottas would be looking to carve his way back up to the top six. He would have to go past Perez to do that. Hence that tussle is one to watch out for, as that would make all the difference in the constructors battle between Redbull and Mercedes, whom are currently separated by one sole point.

Leclercs Ferrari is slower on the straight than the Mercedes and Redbull behind, hence l expect he would be dispatched backwards within five laps. Then the monumental battle between Hamilton and Verstappen shall commence in earnest. Assuming Verstappen do not have one of those ligthning starts that usually propells him into the lead.
