    I approve of the fact that they've dropped the "European" part of the GP name and just called it the Azerbaijan GP.

    Otherwise...meh.

    Yeah, me too.

    I'm going to guess right now that Mercedes will win in Austria. Then Ferrari at Silverstone. Then Mercedes at Hungary. I think I'm seeing a pattern here. Both teams are like exchanging wins at every race.

    Just not a fan of this race. I'll still watch, but I'm not a fan of the layout of this track/circuit.

    The castle section should be interesting with the wider cars

    Agreed. Last year it was a snooze.

    Not stoked.

    Such a shame given the surroundings. You'd think they could make it something special.

    Last year the only thing that made it interesting was Hamway's weekend meltdown.

    He had a shunt during one of the FP sessions, and persistent car issues during the race that the team couldn't advise him on how to solve.

    Rosberg got the grand slam that weekend IIRC.

    Ah, okay. I remember he crashed or his car brokedown. Just didn't know if it was during the race or in FP session.

    What are the chances that he might crash/breakdown again at the same spot this time?

    From your keyboard to God's ears....

    Bottas had a decent race last year, given the quality of the 2016 Williams cars... Hopefully he can shine this year also.

    Hoping the racing is exciting this year, last year was MEH! Interested to see what the Force India's can do with respect to the Red Bulls and how Perez/Ocon get on with each other if they are running close. Williams might join the party as well due to the Merc Engine. Environment @ Torro Rosso is also heating up after the Canadian GP where Sainz did not give tow to Kyvat, so looking forward to that too......

    Sucks for McLaren and its drivers - this will be a boring race for them!

    McLaren already knows Alonso will start from the back: new engine, MGU-K, turbo, and vandoorne they are going to change engines after FP2, and decide if put another for Qualy and goto the back also......

    Alonso out of FP2 after his engine let go. Shocker.

    RBR topped both FP1 and FP2. Nice.

    Interesting they took the kerb out at that infamous turn. Tomorrow will be a snooze fest unless we see a safety car or 3 and strategy is forced to change.

    tomorrow I should just watch the MotoGP from Assen and just glance over at the Baku GP. I will say LH wins by 30 seconds over Bottas, Verstappen, Vettel, Perez, and Ocon....

    Not a bad prediction. The worst part about it all is that with the pole putting him ahead of Senna on the all-time list, Hamsterdam has yet another excuse to be an insufferable twit...as if he needed one.

    If he gets the next one in Austria, there is a serious possibility of him matching Michael Schumacher's record in Silverstone....
