6. Hard but sensible intra-team racing by the Mercs in the first couple of laps and again near the end. Not much else of note except Ferrari continue to hobble Leclerc, although at least they gave him a punt at fastest lap this time.
I'm not much of a fan of the Baku circuit. It's just another 90 left - straight - 90 right type of street circuit. Some people think the "Turn 8" bit injects excitement. To me it just seems like something out of Peter Ustinov's Grand Prix du Rock. Or maybe, a little like the old Starkey's Bridge on the pre-war Donington Park.
