Very nice circuit, I love assen, it's very fast

We have MotoGP for the weekend race in Assen Grand Prix, one of mine favorites i must say

already because in the circuit of baku are more important a good engine, for this Perez with force india are every day fast, the mercedes engine are very superior, and for this renault are last

I must say it was boring race to watch to
For disappointment i dont know if mclaren is on this list (they have even bigger difficult then last year) and williams is disappointment
They have mercedes engine and dont use it right, hamilton yet again push himself hard but no use this time if he dont win next race he will be under enormous pressure

Very boring race to watch actually too much of a difference between top cars running, and even in the back the only battle were only with the DRS opened in the big straight in the beginning of the track. Red Bull failed with tires this race, Mercedes was as always not catch able by their rivals and Williams and McLaren continued to disappoint. Definitely a boring race to watch but at least we saw some beautiful panoramic of the city of Baku, had no idea that city was so beautiful.

Actually this is bad for Hamilton but is good for all of us watching the race as Hamilton needs to do an attacking race from the beginning and based on Mercedes power he can do it well, we will surely see some good overtaking from him today. As a big circuit and narrow through roads of Baku we may see a lot of Safety Car, so a lot can happen in this race , so it should be a very interesting race to watch.

i think this gp can is better to montecarlo, because is a street circuit but is possible overtake.
the proble is the incredible speed of mercedes, are more of 1 second fast to all other team

Bad luck for Hamilton, he dominated all the free practice races but crashed on qualification race. It is not good for him because need to work hard on race to get good points in order to keep close to Rosberg.

And glad to see the Indonesian racer Rio Haryanto start from 17th, this is the best start position for him so far and hope he can get his first point on his F1 career.

Sure this is first time they are racing here
I expect race like in montecarlo

i have see yesterday i track lap in this circuit and are really nice, i don't like more all new track, because are build all to Tilke, but this is a city circuit like Montecarlo and Singapore, and can have a really nice race.

we will have another formula 1 race this weekend European Grand Prix  17 - 19 June, 2016, Baku City Circuit, Baku, Azerbaijan
can wait to see this one

Bad move is to get renault engine this year they are bad
But they have win and ferrari dont this season

Redbull have bad engine, Renault (and official renault team are in the last position of the grid to every race).

Newey contunie work in red bull, but not is present to all gp, work more in office and with another project of redbull, out the f1

Yes they sure fu.. thing up i must say that since michael thing are goingdown for them al the time

I quit watching F1 since they switched to the V6 turbo.  To my surprise, Mercedes without Ross Brawn is dominating the field.  What exactly happened to Redbull Racing?  Is Adrian Newey still with them?

More than a great start from Vettel it was a very bad one from Hamilton who only was caring to not let Nico Rosberg pass as he is his main rival, nor vettel nor ferrari. Ferrari its like this since the time of Fernando Alonso and is the same, they can win an occasional race, but that is not enough to win the championship, so Hamilton was right to only care about Rosberg at the start of the race and making a very very slow start.

i must say they were faster i mean what i great start from Vettel i can remember when i have seen something like that in the past several years
i mean now they have speed they need now to do better tactics

Yes they were faster and again tactics is poor for ferrari
They need to fix this fast time is running out for them
