Palmer retires. Vettel is back up to second, 8 seconds behind Hamilton.
On a different note, Williams have had the fastest pits stops at every race so far this year.

Slow stop for Ricciardo, trouble with the front right.

Hamilton wins a race that was not the most spectacular, the momentum has definitely swung his way.
Rosberg first 4 races: 100 points Rosberg next 3 races: 16 points

What I've learned so far in F1 this year, as long as Nico doesn't have mechanical issues or taken out of contention by his teammate, he wins.

JR Hildebrand will fill in for Josef Newgarden until he recovers from his Texas crash. Gotta say I had flashbacks to Vegas 2011 when that crash happened

I've got practice 1 for this weekend's Azerbaijan race on in the background, first thoughts are: that escape road is getting a lot of use. I don't know what the racing will be like, but turn 8 could prove... interesting, especially on the first lap. spoilered for size {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Edit: Ricciardo is the first victim of the walls, he's taken the right rear off, red flag.

Hamilton locking up like crazy out there in qualifying.
EDIT: Just as I say that, he's hit the wall.

And now, a TWO MINUTE SPRINT for eight cars to set a new time in Q3.

Rosberg takes pole for the European Grand Prix at the new Baku street circuit ahead of Ricciardo and Vettel. Perez was provisionally second, but takes a five place penalty for a gearbox change after an accident in practice.

Hamilton starting from 10th is going to struggle in the race if it goes the same way for him as qualifying did.
I also wouldn't be surprised to see a red flag at some point during the race, it's not the easiest place to clear the cars off the track.

I just keep visualising something like this happening at that narrow-as-f*** castle turn...

For my slightly odd prediction for the race, I'm going with: 5 or so cars all go down the escape road at once and end up blocking each other so none of them can get back on track.

Almost time for a race start, for the first time, in Azerbaijan.

Hamilton hasn't had the best starts this year, he better hope things change this time.

Incredibly, a mostly clean start.

In the meantime, Toyota have lost the Le Mans 24 Hours in literally the last three minutes of the race. Heartbreaker right there.

It seems like everyone is being slightly cautious on the first few laps.
