Lot of drama and action today, good race to watch.

I like when they go to Baku because it’s such a cool-looking city and it’s one that most Americans know nothing about.

Pretty exciting qualifying- both Ferraris and Red Bulls are very quick. The team orders might be interesting tomorrow - at least at Red Bull. Checo has been so fast lately.

The first 22 laps today were hella exciting. Then Ferrari fail, fail, and fail again. Seems like Ferrari not only lack a bit of race speed - but reliability has become a major issue.

The championship might have been won today. That’s crazy

How about this grid? Alonso second and a pair of Haas starting 5th and 6th.

Carlos first career pole.

Wow, what a mess to start the race. Red flag first lap.

Big wreck in the first corner. Zhou on his top, and they haven’t shown the wreckage yet. Russell went running over to the car. Not a good sign, hopefully he’s okay.

Yeah, I couldn't tell if the car was flipped on its top, but it looked bad.

I saw it spinning toward the wall upside down. Even live I thought “holy crap that car is upside down”.

But the longer this goes without any word, is bad.

 

[superchuck500]

Zhou is okay! Whew

 

[DaveXA]

I'm assuming they'll just restart the race. Iirc, during a red flag in Nascar, you're not allowed to work on the car until they're back under yellow.

Good to hear Zhou is out of the car and moving, apparently he's ok although on a stretcher.

 

[DaveXA]

Wow, that wreck was wild. Zhou careened over the barrier too. Makes sense why it took so long to get him out of there.
