Ricciardo stepped up his game after Wonderbay moved to Red Bull.

He's Scottish.
Yeah, 335-345 are normal speeds without slipstream. With good slipstream 350+ kph it is

This is gonna be a huge challenge for drivers tomorrow. Get the last corner before the straight so right that no DRS is in play, and then swerve like a madman to not let the pursuer get into your slipstream and gain entire cityblocks on you on that straight.
I bet Verstappen will bait someone into breaking too late at much too high speeds. His defense in Canada reminded me of the time when he said that he studies all those historical moves from famous drivers and applies them to situations he's in.

Well, Ricciardo can't pronounce his own name, so...
Class act? He could hardly blame anyone else.
He could have blamed Mercedes for sabotaging the wall.
Could have blamed his brakes, tyres, setup etc. It's what drivers do all the time.

Just now catching a replay of quals.
This race is going to be amazing.
Bold prediction
Someone is going to eat it on Turn 8.

Not so

It did like they'd moved it closer for his run.
Toto: "We will build a wall. It will be a great wall. And we will make Lewis pay for it."
I think we have an interesting race tomorrow! Hams crapping it up all over the place
lmao

If he can match Ros pace he should have easy time to overtake most in front.
It felt like it was because of Channel 4's coverage. Even after he owned up to it they were saying "I don't buy it was his mistakes" and Lee even asked him if the sun got in his eyes. He didn't even blame the feeling of the car like they usually do, just said he wasn't on it.
Yet when Verstappen does the exact same thing "the kid is too young" and "the pressure is getting to him."
Funny how that works.
Rather he pulls a Hungary 15, he will keep climbing and every time he reaches 3-4 he will make a mistake and fall back...
The sun in his eyes was scraping the bottom of the barrel for hamilton fans, ie coulthard on c4 and the Sky team.
Then again maybe Hamilton is so #blessed the sun shines extra hard on him through that corner.
Sent a god ray into his eye "Shit, sorry bro, too much blessing right now".

If the start goes well, Hamilton should be in the top 3 by lap 5 or 8.
IF he survive first lap, he still has a nice chance, because we will see several SCs for sure
That's the one thing Hamilton has been messing up all season though. Rosbergs haven't been great, just not as bad as Hamiltons. I wouldn't be shocked to see a Ferrari or Red Bull leading by the first corner.
One car per drs straight per lap. The math checks out.
Wouldn't that be the new all-time topspeed record by a LARGE margin?
Lol, we got the same Hamilton ballwashing in the US from Hobbs.

See: 2013, 2014

About 4km/h faster than the last record
If engine development continues like this next year cars will be breaking records left and right like its 2004 again.

Unofficial, possibly. Montoya with his 372.6 at Monza in 2005 and Maldonado's 366.4 in Mexico are official records, but I think speed traps were placed where there's no much more acceleration beyond them. Here in Baku there are few hundreds metres after start/finish line. I wonder what kind of crazy speeds we'll get tomorrow.
But I wonder, wouldn't that be world record in speed clocked on city streets?
No wonder he didn't want to slow down when he had the movable chicane Verstappen in front of him.

That's mid-1990s Indycar speed, holy crap.
Bound to be one huge crash on the long straight from 16 to turn 1. I think a red flag is on the cards too, access to remove cars from track by he marshalls is awful.
Jesus
Don't forget "Mershedes".
Pretty much anyone else doesn't get the benefit Hamilton does from the Sky coverage.
"Ricciardo is feeling the pressure from his new teammate."
"Oh Rosberg can't handle the pressure of Hamilton catching up"
Meanwhile
"The sun was in Hamilton's eye, that's the only reason he hit the side there"
I normally like the Sky coverage but this is really embarrassing from them.
And my sister in law fucked me.
After swearing she wouldn't make her wedding the race weekend in Austin before I bought tickets, she made her wedding the race weekend after I bought tickets.
And then gave me the choice of moving it to my anniversary instead.

...lacks reading comprehension.
DRS only gets enabled in lap 3.
DRS not being enabled will not stop #Blessed
Hamilton gets a replacement set of tyres with the same mileage as his old ones.
