They should have made a Top 10.
- Verstappen's and Ricciardo's crash
- Bottas pass on Stroll before the finish line
- Verstappen's crash last year
- Hamilton & Vettel's clash
- Schumacher & Mazepin
There are so many more moments worth to mention

"This is a marathon, not a sprint". Then proceeds to make arguably his costliest mistake of the season

Azerbaijan 2021 was one of the most unpredictable races of the season!

[mosura.rmnv.]

Azerbaijan 2021 was fantastic. Can't wait for this weekend

[jasonmanyenyeni]

Baku could easily have given us a top 15 or so. It's the track that keep on giving!

I’d argue that Baku has more dramatic moments per capita than just about any other circuit.

Baku 2017 and 2021 has to be two of the favourite races I've ever watched

[unpocoloco]

I miss the “Down the inside goes Daniel Ricciardo”. What a beast he was at Red Bull

[a.w.b.]

Best street circuit on the calendar. Always entertaining

[TimvKampen]

I think Ericsson hit us will always remain a meme

[Nvr_Sttl]

Wait, no Daniel Ricciardo crashing in to Max Verstappen or the puncture of Max Verstappen (similar crash like Lance Stroll) maked it to this top 5?

Baku might be one of the best tracks out there, its a street circuit that isnt forgiving for mistakes with some overtaking opportunities.

[alanluscombea]

Alonso has a hard time but that is one of my favorite races of his. Shows the determination of Fernando to climb back into the points after the collision

[luuduonghy]

For me the 5 things look dramatic
1st: Vettel and Hamilton collison in Baku 2017, change the race dramatic
2nd: Stroll and Bottas fight for 2nd in Baku 2017
3rd: Hamilton and Verstappen wipe out in Baku 2021
4th: Ricciardo triple pass
5th: Alonso double puncture

[ViniciusSC]

Baku is awesome circuit, there could be like another 5 moments that happened there easily.

Vettel and Hamilton clash
Ricciardo and Max crashing each other
Bottas and Kimi crashing in 2018
Ocon and Perez crashing in 2018
Max tire blowout last year

Baku is the type of circuit that never fails to deliver excitement, like Interlagos, Montreal and Spa.

[TsS.]

This is why Ericsson will forever be remembered in F1. Driver who had Jedi powers !!

“Remember this is a marathon not a sprint”

This hasn’t aged well AT ALL…

[grimmjack]

How is the Ricciardo and Max crash not in here?

Or Vettel vs Hamilton moment in 2017?

[Darkthebest]

alonso getting that mclaren to p7 after getting that double puncture is stuff of legends

[peterfighter]

Quotes that didn't age well:
"You have moved from McLaren to Mercedes. Is that not a bit like moving from Manchester United to West Ham?"
"Last lap Kimi, last lap. All or nothing"
"Long winter, long seasons in the past but now we can fight, we can fight"
"This is a marathon, not a sprint"
