It's the second time the F1 circus will go to Baku so this is one of the new tracks. It's also a street circuit which is very nice!
Here's a highlight video from last year:
And here is Nico Rosberg's pole lap:
The first race in Baku made us all wait for something really awesome but the race was actually very boring.
The race start was very clean and no drama what so ever. Mercedes' Nico Rosberg had a great start and lead the race from the beginning till the end. It was a grand slam for him so maybe this is a track for Mercedes also this year.
Now let's see my predictions:
Pole position: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
The race:
The race:
- Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
- Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes
- Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
Surprise: McLaren will have a great race here if the engine lasts.

The rules:
POINTS: 1st - 3
2nd - 5

HOW IT WORKS: the aim of the game is simply predict who comes where in the race (top3). A total of 18 points can be won on a race day. If you get winner and and 3rd place right but 2nd wrong you get 13 points same if you get 1 correct. eg. 2nd you get 5 points. If a driver wins the race and you said he would come 2nd or 3rd no points would be awarded. Same if he came in another position, and you predicted that wrong. A table will be posted up every race weekend. The point scoring system will change once the cars become more competitive. Everyone will say a merc 1,2 so it won't be close or fun.
