What a great race- bad luck for Max, but I was pleased to see Vettel do well. A great decision by stewards not to just let the race finish under the safety car.

Pirelli head of F1: “I believe I can exclude that failures were due to tyre wear, because it's not a matter of tyre wear…. The rear-left tyre is not the most stressed tyre in Baku because... it's obviously the rear-right.“
What nonsense, obviously the rear tyres suffer most. I remember seeing both Lewis’ and Checo’s tyre conditions during the race with the rear tyres in the red at 20% and 10% respectively, whereas the fronts were still orange or even green. Leaving Stroll out on softs for 32 laps is criminal with the 340/h straight at Baku. This crash led to the safety car being deployed and Max losing his advantage and ultimately to his retirement by picking up Stroll’s debris.

"He started in seventh place and lasted two corners before having to retire due to clutch failure. Still, Schumacher showcased exceptional skill" 🙄

But yeah, funky and cool looking car. Will make a great addition to some billionaire's car collection 👍

tic tac. He did get a little better after this first start. And green, the "new" color too.

Tic Tac seemed to follow Schumi into Ferrari

From memory, Schumacher brought Tic-Tac to Jordan..think their logo was on the car for only the one race

I wonder how much it would be worth if Michael hadn't driven it for 2 corners...

It's a cool car from a cool era and I remember those early Jordans well. I remember being in traffic after Silverstone behind the Jordan trucks, all green and with a giant 7-Up dude painted on them.

Scuderia Ferrari looks to be infront of the mid field (or at the back of Red Bull & Mercedes) Looks like we have a great race ahead ::psy::

Holy shit, what an emotional and exciting race!!!!!!!

I have two new all time favorite quotes:

"Not sure what happened there mate" (Mercedes radio person guy when Hamilton lost the lead after the pitstop)

"Simply lovely"(when Max won the race)

Just awesome.


Sorry Albert
Luckily, Marc Marquez's victory in Moto GP (Sachsenring, Germany) has compensated me for Paul Ricard's result! 😉 👍 ::psy::

It was like in Barcelona, but in reverse. As in Barcelona, the Mercedes had better race pace, but this time Red Bull's strategy was the right one, and also their undercut unexpectedly worked with 3 seconds of disadvantage 😵‍💫
Exciting race to the finish, just as the season promises to be 👍

Congrats to RBR, Max, and TAG Heuer 👍… and looking forward to seeing the race in Austria next weekend! 🍿
