The King👑 of Baku
Sergio Checooo Perez 🔥
5 podiums in a track that punishes the slightest of mistakes is not a joke. Its very unfortunate that this year he does not have a car that can finish the race, leave alone aiming for points
Toto Wolf: "I really tried to speak to Michael and guide him all along the year… Listen, I’ve been in the sport for a long time. Listen to the drivers. Don’t always be stubborn in your decision-making. Don’t be arrogant."
Back then In 2021, team principals had a live radio line into the race director, and F1 chose to broadcast chunks of it.That turned officiating into a public negotiation.
They should not be able to argue the referee into a custom Safety Car procedure on lap 57 of a title decider, on live television. You do not want the championship decided by who shouts “Michael!” more effectively.
This is the only reason they have 2 cars
F1’s sporting regulations don’t allow a team to enter only one car. You must field two entries, two drivers, two sets of tyres, etc. That’s why they keep filling the second seat even when it underperforms.
Verstappen has been open about preferring a clear hierarchy. He has said that if he were a team principal he would always designate a number 1 and a number 2
Redbull Racing are comfortable with it because Max is the only driver who can currently extract the performance they need at the front, the car has been developed that way, and the rules force them to have a second car anyway.

Baku made Colapinto. Now he has to survive it.
Franco Colapinto heads to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in form: P10 at Monza, P7 in Madrid, two straight points finishes.
Baku is personal. In 2024, in only his second F1 race, he qualified Q3 and finished P8 for Williams. Last year with Alpine: contact and P19.
Realistic target is Q2, fight for Q3, stay off the walls, and be there when the Safety Cars flip the race. Another P8-P10 keeps the streak alive.
No heroics needed. Just stay clean when Baku gets messy.
Andrea Kimi AntoLimits 😅🙌
Kimi Antonelli is the worst track-limits offender on the 2026 grid. Through the first 11 grands prix he had 22 deleted race laps. Only Australia and Japan were clean. Lance Stroll is the only driver who attempts to reach against Kimi for this stat.
The real Baku risk for Antonelli is the same thing that causes the track-limits, he doesn’t lift. One extra millimetre in the castle or at T15/T16 is a DNF, not a 5-second penalty. With an 80-point lead that is the one thing that could actually swing the title fight.
Kimi needs to be carefull to avoid Oscar's fate
