2019 F1 Azerbaijan GP Race Review | WTF1 Podcast

Well done Baku - another year, another chaotic and strange race weekend. And whilst the racing was surprisingly a little lacklustre, it gave us plenty to talk about.

Matt, Tommy and Jess are reunited live from Baku City Circuit to give you a (slightly delirious) take on the 2019 SOCAR Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Mercedes: 4 1-2 finishes in a row.
Also Mercedes: We are not the team to beat, that would be Williams.

[timzy]

Age old saying since 2017: Roses are Red, Violets are blue....


"Ferrari are Faster"




Mercedes 1-2

[girikkashkari]

FINALLY MATT AND THEIR FACES AS WELL.

Squad is back 💯

[Sbinnala]

I’m a Hamilton fan but I kinda want bottas to win the wdc to prove his worth and so that he finally gets the respect he deserves

[mattpinky]

No one:
Tommy: that’s radilion actually

[crawfordbrown]

Tommy, Matt and Jess all looking fiiine

[awonauce]

imagine if that manhole cover didn't break




til the race

[dennise]

I want every podcast to be at this level of tiredness this is hilarious 😂

[jirizahradnik]

So Kvyat destroys Albon in qaly, then he is comfortably ahead of him until he gets torpedoed, but gets D, whereas Albon C? Jusf because of the first few laps? I’m not hating, just really don’t understand this.

[MaverickSpawn]

I don't think it is fair to say that Hamilton is not bothered by Bottas. Bottas does have a tendency to self-destruct and Hamilton knows that. Hopefully that doesn't happen but yeah, Hamilton is confident, I don't think he is disregarding him; however, I look forward to seeing them both fight.

[GscheidaBua]

Expect the unexpected:
Baku normally: 300 safety cars
Baku this year: uhm... practice was cool!!
Monaco normally: no overtake at all.
Monaco this year: 7 WIDE INTO TURN 1, WILLIAMS VICTORY, VETTEL AND HAMILTON CHANGE CARS MID RACE!!

Ok maybe that‘s not how it works...

[MrPringellZ]

Is it not obvious that Bottas is a title contender?

[lucaskane]

Roses are red, Violets are blue....


No safety car?







How bout F2?!

[ManojPatankar]

Thanks for putting in so much work guys! always love listening to the original trio
and we hope y'all get enough sleep! <3

[Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm]

It's great to see the original trio, but... I really started to like Dan. When you will be back to your cupboard, what do you say about extending the formula to a quartet format? 😃

P.S. Slightly irrelevant to F1 topic, but that is some really great stripey outfit. Much more interesting than the race itself actually 😝

[aleenexo]

Okay let’s face it not the race we were expecting

[indranigomes]

Kvyat would have finished 9th, considering that Stroll was behind both him and Ric before the incident. It was a good recovery, so definitely not a D.

[dennise]

It’s kinda funny that the torpedo is getting torpedoed this season

[psyaviah]

this is SUCH an amazing podcast!
