Good morning, racefans—this is my 2025 Azerbaijan GP review, aka “We really woke up at six in the morning for this…” and honestly? The race itself was a bit underwhelming, but after a qualifying session like THAT, how can you hate Baku? I recap the FIA Election Watch (yes, a new candidate for FIA presidency), the weekend headlines, and then I spiral—lovingly—through one of the most chaotic qualis I’ve seen: Albon in the wall, Hulkenberg damage, Gasly and Colapinto crashing, Bearman binning it, Leclerc doing the Turn 15 thing, and Oscar Piastri hitting the wall at the worst possible time. Then we get to the race: Oscar’s “series of unfortunate events” (jump start, anti-stall, P20, then wall), Alonso’s false start penalty, and a whole lot of strategy and defense shaping the order. Max does Max things—wins again—Russell brings it home P2 while sick, and Carlos Sainz delivers the moment of the weekend with a Williams podium (first since 2017). I hand out my superlatives (Ace, Disgrace, strategy masterclass, underdog shoutout), rate the race 3/5 stars, and update my 2025 prediction bingo—plus, a huge thank you moment for hitting 10,000 subs. Stay fueled. And remember: fuck papaya rules.
