The above video shows how Max moved twice to block his team-mate and taking out both cars.

As I said, the Stewards will have something to say about Max's driving.  Max will certainly get an earful from RB bosses for his abrasiveness!

Race Highlights of the 2018 Azerbaijan F-1 GP, if you did not watch it on TV.

Again, the safety car deployment affected the outcome.

No-la.

The Official Car actually brought Vettel closer to Bottas.   Vettel was too anxious to pass Bottas, with 4 laps remaining, at the first corner; I wouldn't even call it the first available opportunity.  Vettel could have waited because 4 laps were more than plenty as the Ferrari was faster and fresher tires.

Hamilton was the luckiest winner, this time.

Next F-1 Stop is the Spanish GP on MAY13 2018.

It is Alonso's home track, but he will have no chance of coming even among the top three as his Team is simply not competitive enough, at least not for 2018.

The thing to watch out for this time is whether the Red Bull drivers have learned their lesson and not ruin the Team's Constructors' Championship by destroying each other.  In particular, watch Max Verstappen, he is young and talented, but he must know that in order to win, he must finish the race.

Talent and fast comes after "stay out of trouble".

Just checked TV Guide, there may not be live telecast .  In fact, there is nothing about Spanish F-1 GP.

If you want some up-to-date info on race day, might as well visit www.formula1.com, register and sign in, then you will get a slightly delayed text commentary.

Official Qualifying results are know:

Team NB
Team Ferrari
Team Red Bull
In that order and occupying the first three rows.  All 6 cars are within 1/2", this will be interesting at the first corner!

In the absence of live TV coverage, let's have highlights of the race:

The next F-1 race is the Monaco GP which will be held this coming Sunday.

Monaco is a street course, narrow and with many corners.  It is a drivers' course.  A faster car may not win the race, a good driver with an even less powerful car can win.

Before Ayerton Senna became world championship, he drove for a non-competitive team, but he qualified fastest!

After being recruited by a competitive team, he won Monaco 6 times, not counting one time he was leading but crashed on the last or 2nd last lap!  

Anyway, check you local TV listings for live coverage times.  I suspect it will be 0755 Toronto time, but the race starts at 0800.
