Episode #543: 2024 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Review

Motorsport101

It's been a while since F1 had as near as we get to a good old fashioned barney, and the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was no exception! With Charles Leclerc scoring his fourth straight pole position in Baku, he had the early lead, but a slow outlap and an aggressive Oscar Piastri had him take the lead and then hold off the Monaco man to take his second career win - And this time, he didn't have to swap for it.
The gang breakdown how Oscar drove perfect defence in order to win, how Charles cooked his rear tyres when it mattered most, and the horror crash between Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz after the pair smashed into the wall on the penultimate lap while fighting for the podium. And with Oscar now just 32 points behind Lando Norris in the standings, did McLaren pull the pin on team orders too early?
There's also a breakdown of the rookies as Ollie Bearman AND Franco Colapinto both get into the points, and what that means for the final Sauber seat for 2025, on another loaded Motorsport101 - And Dre Harrison's 500th appearance!
