Baku

It was today.

What we saw, um, is the fact that he is running an old spec engine as far as what we've been told in commentary and, and, uh, and so forth, is the fact that basically the big crash in Monza, they're going to roll that out in free practice one Baku to see if it works or not.

And therefore, for this weekend so that they don't take a penalty, because it's not gonna be an easy track to overtake, uh, instead Leclerc will be running Adiu 1 engine.

Um, uh, which I would be more upset about if it actually brought anything particular, uh, of, of, of advantage to the Adiu 2, because Ollie Bearman's come out and said that the, the engine's not really done a huge amount.

Uh, but-

He said you only can get up to sixth gear.

[laughs] It is not a, a power track, is it? So of all the, the places you want this to, to happen, um, yeah, they'll, they'll obviously test it in Baku, hope it all goes to plan.

Um, but it's a sensible choice for, for Ferrari.

Uh, and in the end, we only got one, which was, uh, quite intriguing.

But I do, do ponder if this has had what kind of that Baku effect of when you talk about something being chaotic, when you have support events that have a bit of chaos, because there was a big F2 shunt this morning, car on fire.

Um, everything's all, all building up to being chaotic.

And then F1 drivers are very, very good.

So, but that's going to keep building and building and building.

And yeah, I mean, Charles Leclerc talked about it being a, a commitment track and Gasly was saying it's a mix of Jeddah and Monaco.

Berman went with Baku and Jeddah.

So we've got a few different tracks.

Here are the latest top lineups for the Spanish Grand Prix at the Mad Ring.

I'm leaning toward the triple Mercedes again so that I can roll a transfer into Baku and get more flexibility with my team.

Kimi and George 1-2 in the latest betting lines should lead to another big score for this lineup.

If you can't afford George, I'd lean to Lando Norris next, who's 1 million cheaper, then Lewis Hamilton, who's 2.5 million cheaper.

Let's go.

Me a Lambo, me a Maybach, me a two big house in Vegas Dream plenty, Kotoku empty, boy I need to f**king get it, can't stay back Two baby, Baku to Bosina, hope you get my dinner to location Me basically a DBA, DBA to me, you know me so many, me a big check I got a new be any other as easy gonna wanna

know be on a crack crack into the set I know that's nice and you'll be a heavy and see a big woman is Tano you know I'm a man you know what would you do me not you bum no no you're not you're not you're not I mean what what I know

Vibrations happen that, see no evil I see no man, see no man Wild in my head, everything I touch is blessed All I see is blessings, and no man can stop this Send him away, evil eyes don't watch me Soul I see is blessed, and no man can stop this No load I won't stop for nothing, victory is near I'm feeling it

So, yeah, it is a bigger challenge without question.

And when the walls are as close as they are here with the speed, similar to Baku in that sense.

Bless you.

Thank you.

For analysis and strategy, he previously served as diplomatic advisor to the Minister of the Armed Forces.

In the U.S.-charged affair to Armenia, David Allen discussed Armenia-Azerbaijan relations and the TRIP initiative with Azerbaijan's Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mamadov in Baku.

The U.S. embassy in Yerevan said that as TRIP shifts from concept to implementation, the administration wants closer coordination across the region and that the U.S. embassies in Yerevan and Baku worked together to arrange Allen's trip to Baku in support of the project and of commitments under the U.S.-Armenia Framework Agreement.

According to Azerbaijan's foreign ministry, the discussion covered normalization relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, moving the peace process forward and strengthening national stability and security.

The two sides also reviewed the outcome of Mammadov's recent trip to Washington, made to mark the anniversary of the Washington Peace Summit, along with the trilateral declaration signed there and progress on the trip project.

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jehun Bayramov said afterwards that the physical construction of the trip route has been pushed back to 2027.

He added that U.S. officials keep Baku regularly briefed on the project, calling this natural since, in his words, trip cannot go ahead without Azerbaijan's involvement.

and it's also highly in their interest, isn't it? Speaking of Azerbaijan, the Caucasus Heritage Watch says Azerbaijan has destroyed yet another Armenian cultural heritage site in Shushi.

So it could be a bit carnage, uh, but we will see.

I think qualifi- I think, honestly, to me it's probably gonna be a bit like Baku.

Qualifying's gonna be carnage, and then the race is gonna be really boring because everybody just doesn't wanna stack it, and Charles Leclerc will stack it.

Well, Baku, Baku was hyped in its first year in 2016 massively.

Yeah.

And then- It just wasn't interesting at all.

I wanna th- I...

It's always exciting going to a new Grand Prix for the first time, absolutely.

And I think Lindblad is in a good enough place in his racing calendar this year to just go for it.

He is a good enough spot, but I think he may come to the fore in Baku instead and try and do what Liam Lawson couldn't last year and get a podium.

So that's going to be my tease for

later on.
