WHAT A RACE!!!

in #sport7 years ago

Against all odds Daniel Ricciardo wins the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from 10th on the grid.
After 3 safety cars, a red flag and a bit of luck Ricciardo manages to get red bulls first win of the season.

Lewis Hamilton had the pace in this race but after a red flag his head guard came out of its housing and had to pit due to safety.
He finished today's race in 5th earning him 10 points in the driver championship.

Sebastian Vettel was very lucky to only get a 10 second stop go penalty after purposely turning into Hamilton, which in my opinion was the best part of the race. Vettel went on to finish the race in 4th earning 12 points extending his lead in the drivers championhip to 14 points.

After a difficult qualifying and start to the race with an early pit stop to remove debris from the brakes, he was in the right place at the right time all afternoon and was well deserved of his race win.
Anyone for a shoey?

We'll remember that race for years... the same way as we remember Montreal 2011. Here's my post about the race https://steemit.com/sports/@steemfluencer/the-2017-f1-azerbaijan-grand-prix-social-media-best-reactions
