F1 Street Circuits: A History | 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Tuesday, June 20, 2017

2017 European Grand Prix preview



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:
  1. Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
  2. Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes
  3. Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari
Fastest lap: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes

Surprise: McLaren will have a great race here if the engine lasts.

Remember to post your own predictions to our F1-4-LIFE PREDICTORS LEAGUE.


The rules:

POINTS: 1st - 3
2nd - 5
3rd - 10

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.

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PREDICTIONS: send an email to f14lifeblog@gmail.com or message the Facebook page to submit your predictions. You have until lights out to make them. If you submit them when the race has started they won't count. So be quick! like the Mercedes.

THE PRIZE: the winner of the league will win themselves a admin place on the F1 4 LIFE page along side AE, JT, MH, MW, JI and PM. If you don't want to be an admin you are welcome to participate anyway. We may also come up with some other prize if it helps.

THIS TIME YOU ALSO GET BONUS POINTS! PREDICT POLE POSITION AND FASTEST LAP CORRECTLY TO EARN 5 EXTRA POINTS!

 That's it for today and if you want to send me feedback then email me: f14lifeblog@gmail.com
