He wrecked that shit up

Looks like new gearbox, suspension, rear wing and wheel rims

 

[Elvin Atombender]

That is quite a lot of damage.

 

[navanman]

Looks like rear stepped out and binned it.

Ricciardo does a lap around Baku, and so does Palmer.

Smushed to pieces.

Let's see how much time it will take to remove that wreck.

Is that a bit of the Pirelli drape that ends up stuck to the front right?

 

[king picollo]

Not a lot of grip out there is there.

 

[Zaru]

Anyone who gets pushed out on the turn 1 tussle after the start is going to lose a shitload of time.

What is that wall made off? Spikes and explosives? The damage seemed exagerated to the impact.

 

[Mastah]

That's side hit into Tecpro barriers for you.

Honda is consistently 7 tenths slower than Mercs in last sector, Vettel 5 tenths off.

 

[massivekettle]

Danny binned it in Turn 15!

Ricciardo has been shit since running his mouth post-Moanco.

 

[Psychotext]

Ferrari are no-where. They really need to find a setup that works.

He got unlucky, little surprised that barrier comes out like that, it's pretty much right where you would expect the rear of the car to end up and in this case did.

Missed P1 because I had to kill the DJ-Octopus boss for my son.

From the pics it looks like a nice circuit.. I hope it produces a nice race

 

[Lach]

As mentioned before I like the circuit more and more. Can't wait to try it out in F1 2016.

The corner RIC crashed on, is the one he made the "you can gain a lot of time if you get this right" comment about.

Love how it looks, love how it runs, but I dislike the long straights, should have put a chicane or two in there.

GP2 qualifying cancelled after a crash, track is broken (curbs specifically).

Rescheduled after second F1 practice.

 

[Business]

Ricciardo has been shit since running his mouth post-Moanco.

Did a decent qualy in Canada and after the problem at the start (helped by Rosberg rejoining the track) he was stuck behind his teammate. From that point on he couldn't do much more.

He wasn't stuck behind his teammate though, Max was saving tires planning for his one-stop because he couldn't hope to catch up to the guys ahead. When he got the call to not hold RIC up, he sped up and increased the gap.

The main problem RIC had that cost him time, other than tire degradation, was having to fight the people behind him.

Got info that 90% of all rear tyres had been damaged in FP1. Mostly cuts in left rear. Many drivers had to stop session early

By stuck I'm not implying he had more or less pace than Verstappen but simply saying he was behind, unable to overtake and unable to undercut as he didn't have strategy priority anymore.

 

[Zaru]

That's life-threatening. Do they have to inspect all the curbs now or where do they even look for the reason?

Kerb issue is thus: Pirelli reported cuts in tyres to FIA discovered post FP1. Cause is loose screws in corner kerbing.

Issue is not easy to fix. Female receptor of screw is sunk into concrete but female and male have become dislodged together.

If it was as simple as tightening the screw, it would be fixable in an instant. Question now is how to re-secure female into concrete.

That's on him though, he drove a less than stellar race in Canada, it's fair to say.

Yes. He didn't have the pace to overtake a tyre-saving VES. Face it, it wasn't his finest race.

No wonder Jenson was concerned about Turn 3 and 15, they are doing 320kph and 310kph respectively and if something bad happens, it will be nasty. Remember Sainz at Sochi last year? In Baku there's smaller run-off :/

Predator was the bad guy, mate

Lol.. well the movie is Predator not Commando..

I know, but Arnie and his mates were Commando's.

Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis was an alien.

Superglue

Epoxy resins can be used for securing into tarmac and concrete but it can take 8h+ to fully cure once it is applied.

 

[Mastah]

So we see one of kerbs flapping like crazy - why the session isn't instantly red flagged?

Another kerb come loose already.
Joke, this will be red flagged soon if it comes off.

RIC's car fully rebuild, well done to RBR mechanics.

Force Indias were 1-2 with identical lap times.
