Azerbaijan GP: Baku's Big Nothing
Description
Baku promised the usual chaos, safety cars and sudden twists, but in the end delivered long stretches of nothing much at all!
On this week's 2 Soft Compounds, hosts Rick Houghton and Damien Reid unpack how a circuit this unpredictable became a slow moving train, and why it isn't just down to driver caution. The guys start with the standouts: George Russell's most complete weekend yet and Hadjar's level headed, team first return that still lands a huge Red Bull result. Plus Norris' post race digs at Colapinto and whether drivers now race the rule book instead of their instincts, Ferrari's latest strategy mess with Hamilton, McLaren's upgrades failing to click, and Piastri throwing away points on cold tyres.
Last but not least, there's chat about Antonelli's mature recovery, a Sepang preview, and the final lap Bottas incident that reignites the yellow flags versus safety car debate.
