 Hey everyone and welcome in the Formula One Baku debrief with five key points! Mamma Mia! To finish first, first you need to finish Ferrari, after they already lost the title, I don't know but they have got a fast car, after two seasons a little bit complicated they've got a very fast car and the reliability issue were more on the red bruce side early in the year but as three races in a row well Leclerc should have Charles Leclerc should have won and it did not, that's a tough one for Ferrari as the red bull capitalized first and second they were very much in control of the race once Ferrari was out there no much fight from Paris or when he was asked not to fight Verstappen to let him buy you know the first and second in championship red bulls got scored a lot of points in the constructor championship and as I said Charles Leclerc over the last three races really not what he wanted so as to bounce back I think they're gonna be fast again in Canada but definitely those reliability issues have to be sorted you could even see on the Alfa Romeo on the Haas that they're also issues so something there that needs to be addressed it's always hard to you know push the performance but keep the reliability going so that's definitely a hard one for Leclerc to digest and for Ferrari Russell Mr consistency Russell always in the top five third podium for him, quad race no much going on in front of him no much going on behind him good qualifying good pace in the race but just in the middle of kind of nowhere it looked easy from the outside it's never easy the Mercedes is definitely a tough car to drive and we saw much proposing bouncing that were going on with with Lewis Hamilton so that was a very good race from from Russell very good race from Hamilton getting p4 that is very very strong from Mercedes knowing that they don't have a super fast car yet proposing or bouncing I mean every Formula one driver is a back issue you have had back issue for the last few years just because you sit in a carbon seat which is put on on a carbon chassis and you want to run the chassis as low as you can so it's bouncing and hitting the ground quite a bit and when it hits the ground all those vibrations and the heat goes straight into your spinal it's not definitely driving from one car is not ideal for for the back but with that poor boys things look really bad obviously some team know that are struggling a little bit more with it than others are gonna try to talk more about it in hope that maybe the FIA Formula one would change the rules or do something you can already see Red Bull going in the media saying well you know they can run the car high if they want to we don't want any rules because we control the proper thing we don't have the issue so it's gonna be kind of a political fight that we see very often in in Formula one in the past it was pretty much always against Mercedes the front and rear connected to suspension was bad because everyone thought Mercedes had an advantage on that wasn't really the case the engine mode in the race was was bad because everything from Mercedes had an advantage but wasn't really the case so you know it's always always a case and obviously Red Bull and Ferrari controlled the body better than than Mercedes and that's why we hear Mercedes quite quite vocal about it but also they keep working you know they keep working on their hand and as I say it's not the fastest car they have there third and fourth in the race pretty pretty impressive so good job to them we want the driver to be healthy that's for sure we don't want to see that bouncing going on so it's a hard one to um to decide what to do on Pierre Gasly really good weekend Pierre Gasly qualified six finished fifth say it was even running fourth when his engineer told him not to fight Hamilton because there were key points for the championship alphatorie if we look at 2021 versus 2022 if score much less points the car has been a little bit less good this year but Gasly has been doing a very good race in Baku he's always been strong in Baku and sooner that was good Yuki Tsuna was very good until he's had his DRS issue that's uh that's that for him so only one side the rear wing would open he had the black and orange flag means meaning you've got a technical issue and you need to box to to sort that out they went with with tape to sort it out was it necessary to give him black and white orange flag I don't know because you know at this point he kind of knew that he wasn't going to use his DRS anymore because because he knew he had a problem and and the wing seems to be closed but on the other hand if the wings open when you don't expect it and very high speed corner it's it's a big crash so just felt it was very hard for him because he was doing good race he was he was going to finish sixth that was some other good points for alphatorie but um they had that issue we have to know that alphatorie and Red Bull are like sister team Red Bull had some some warning with the DRS in practice so definitely some somewhere to look at for alphatorie and Red Bull to make sure that they uh they don't have those issues and they don't lose a very important point with that Baku has always been a super exciting race but this year it was quite boring the new rules are great for the Formula 1 they can follow each other much better but the race almost no yellow flag almost no safety car nothing you know we we used to see we used to see Baku as a crazy race and this year just it just wasn't so honestly wasn't the most exciting going pre to watch this year they've been pretty good I've been enjoying watching the races this one just felt like you know not much was happening Red Bull clearly decided best happens number one and pairs number two so they asked not to fight that could have been a nice fight on track for the win it did not happen so yeah a bit a bit disappointing that Grand Prix in that aspect I think uh you know some years or like that maybe next year it's gonna be a crazy one but definitely Baku wasn't wasn't a perfect one and now we jump straight on to Montréal Canada I'm gonna be there on site so it's gonna be good to get some insights for the videos for the futures one of my favorite Grand Prix love the city of Montréal Montréal in English love going there exciting track not easy a lot can happen I think Ferreira is gonna be strong Red Bull is gonna be strong it's gonna be it's gonna be very interesting to see if Ferreira can get some points back because they do need some points back they do need both drivers to be at the front and and take away points from Red Bull that's for sure so yes I'll see you next week in the meantime make sure you like subscribe give me a comment and I'll see you very soon
