Haha, that's a fair comment. Not my favourite venue by any stretch and the lack of "carnage" meant it wasn't even entertaining this year. Talk to Hesh, he likes this track
I was still gripped the whole way through though. More in anticipation of a safety car than anything actually happening on the track. Sad but true.

Formula 1 managing director of motorsports Ross Brawn has defended Ferrari’s decision to use medium tyres in Q2 in Azerbaijan – even though the move triggered Charles Leclerc’s crash that derailed its weekend.

I like Brawn and clearly he is an asset to F1 and I realize he spent some very formative years with Ferrari but to me in his current position he should shut up commenting about any individual team especially as it relates to performance.
Do not get me wrong I do not suspect he doing anything wrong but if I am another team it just raises suspicions that should not be going there. You are a neutral Ross. At least give the impression you are staying that way.

Yes Forza I truly believe he should say nothing about teams performances. I also accept my opinion may be a minority one. What would he say if he was asked about Mercedes Rear wing design or Renaults Energy recovery unit. Say nothing you are not involved.
