I wonder if Renault will keep Jolyon Palmer until the end of the season

Unless he hooks together some decent results in the next few races, I can't see him in the seat at the end of the season.

Lewis has a race on now

 

[Limejuice]

Hammy's borked it.

 

[1%er]

I guess with such a long straight he has a good chance of passing many in front

 

[Limejuice]

Looks like it could be good for Ferrari. Maybe two cars at the front, both capable of out-dragging Rosberg off the line.

Red Bull along side the Merc

 

[Limejuice]

It's going to be a busy day for the marshals and stewards!

 

[1%er]

Yes, race on for tomorrow with some cars out of position

Looking forward to it

 

[1%er]

See you tomorrow Mr Juice

Well, good afternoon.

It's my daughter's 21st today. Fizzy liquid has been opened, consumed and spilled.

I think this could be a good race but...
No cranes to lift damaged cars, so possibly lots of lots of slow safety car laps

Looking at Brundles twitter and his medical issue sounds like it was a serious heart one. But thats not why he isn't commentating this week, he got pole in one of the Le Mans races although he didn't win the actual race.

Anyway I'm glad channel 4 have this weeks race live because there is no way I can listen to the rambling of Paul di Resta again.

Btw - good afternoon Limejuice and 1%er

And to you.

Due to the early start on fizzy plonk, I'm not feeling a lot of pain at the moment...



Yes, the lack of cranes could be a problem. I think red flags will be out a couple of times.

The contrast will be with Monaco, when the marshaling and clearing were brilliant. They were on everything in seconds. Dead cars evacuated in a couple of yellow flags.

Good morning yardbird and Limejuice and a happy 21st to you daughter

The big boss of Ferrari says he'd like to keep Kimi but everything depends of his performances, is he doing enough? Is there anyone to take his seat who isn't under contract elsewhere and will Ferrari have a new team boss before the end of the season.

So many questions

Unless he starts to impress, I wouldn't keep Kimi and I wouldn't find it a hard decision - he is underperforming consistently.

That's why I like F1. Apart from the driving and amazing technology, there's a perpetual Game of Thrones going on for seats.

Kimi's sullen and brusque demeanour is excellent entertainment, but the owners want racing results.

Ted's going up in the world - live interview with the President of Azerbaijan.

I'm impressed by Baku as a city. looks great.

Yes. If someone offered me a business trip there, I'd be well up for it.

 

[Limejuice]

That was much cleaner than I expected.

No safety car!

 

[Limejuice]

Kimi - first use of the bleep machine on the radio...

 

[1%er]

There are all being very well behaved

Rubbish, ain't it!

 

[1%er]

That long straight is doing its job

 

[1%er]

we need a safety car to close up the racing (I wouldn't be saying that if Lewis was in front)

 

[Limejuice]

I'm amazed no-one's smacked the wall alongside the Maiden Tower.

 

[Limejuice]

Kimi, Seb is faster than you?
