redfiona99Sadly I missed the live Baku Chaos Bonanza because I was hitting people with swords.
As the BBC radio commentators said, it's an odd race where there's either chaos in qualifying or the race, never both and this was a year where it was all in the qualifying - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/c5yv3y3q8dvo
The race itself was dull, and the only good news was the Sainz jnr podium. But that was very good news.
It's interesting that there was another poor (re)start from Norris. At some point, they're going to have to do something about that. Matters were not helped by him yet again being the victim of a McLaren pitstop going wrong.
The only comment I have about Ferrari is that someone needs to tell them that 3rd in Constructors is not good enough.
Then, of course, there's that titillating possibility that this is the second race in a Verstappen come back. If Verstappen wins the title this year ...
