Wolf looking for easy excuse he pulls out of bag concerning the wheel nut, the overhang should have more than 2 cm give for proper lock on with wheel gun.

I dont think anyone with a brain doesnt think Max is talented. He is clearly very fast in a car that is difficult to drive. Its his season long level of consistency and patience that has been questioned here, not pure speed or talent. Quit stirring the pot.

Im excited for the race. It should be a good one. Im hoping McLaren can have both drivers in the mix this week.

Charles had had many problems with tight circuits over the years, hopefully he won’t crash again at the castle area in sector 2.

im expecting a double DNF for Red Bulls.. 1 mechanical 1 crash.. Bottas' energy is high this week.. one of the RB's may crash into him..

1. Lewis 2. Bottas or Stroll 3. Ric even if he still brakes earlier than Norris as far as F1 graphics tell..

Wow, predicting top ten, that's laying it out there

I'll only go top 3...

1. HAM
2. BOT
3. VER

Pissed off HAM after team meltdown will be hard to beat and BOT is due a good finish. I'll also take MB power on that long straight over bendy rear wing IF they bring it.

Disappointed with the lack of upgrades from merc, still not clear where the tokens have been spent

Wolff said BOT's wreck at Imola has cost them big time and they may have had to replace all of the wheel nuts as a precaution and they cost dear so updates may be cut back in line to budget.

That's for sure my friend

Red Bull brings a new "Flexi" rear wing to Baku , with less downforce to get a higher top speed on the straights .

The new rear wing is still "Flexible" just like from the other 3 teams .

The Red Bull article said : "Not afraid of protest"

Helmut has already said I read and the more the better against them, the costs are mounting for Merc with a possible replacement front wing to counter any protest.

The costs of a new front wing design is between 150K/200K

The rear wing is around double that,I heard Horner say in region of half million.
